Cheaper to buy isn’t cheaper to own

Comparing the Haval Jolion Pro (R521 450) and Suzuki Jimny 5-Door (R489 900) – see how price, engine, warranty and safety stack up below.

The instalment, the fuel bill and the five-year figure — worked out on your deposit, your rate and your driving. Every specification below comes from a verified record.

The five-year figure is finance instalments and fuel only — it does not include servicing, insurance, tyres or depreciation. It is a cost-to-buy-and-run comparison, not a full cost of ownership.

The Haval Jolion Pro costs R1 366 less than the Suzuki Jimny 5-Door over five years.
Fuel costs are calculated from the consumption figure recorded for each vehicle.

What we haven’t verified yet

Blank cells are figures the manufacturer doesn’t publish for South Africa, or that we haven’t confirmed against an official source. We leave them empty rather than estimating them. A third kind of blank is different again: some fields don’t apply to a vehicle at all — an electric car has no fuel tank — and those are named separately below and left out of that vehicle’s verified count, which is why the counts on the cards above can be out of different totals.

Other comparisons people are making

Cost-to-own figures are illustrative only: a standard reducing-balance loan calculation using the deposit, trade-in, balloon, interest rate, term and driving assumptions above, plus fuel at the price you set. They exclude insurance, licensing and servicing, and are not a loan quote — get a real quote from our Finance Calculator. Specifications shown are the fields we’ve verified against official South African sources for each vehicle; anything not shown is marked “Not published” rather than estimated.
