DFSK Drives Affordable Mobility and Reliability in South Africa
With a strong foundation of automotive expertise and cutting-edge technology, DFSK is quickly becoming a household name in the South African motoring landscape.
DFSK was born from a joint venture between two of China’s most prominent automotive giants, Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Sokon Industry Group. Since its inception in 2003, DFSK has grown to become an international leader, with vehicles now available in over 70 countries worldwide. The brand’s focus on affordability without compromising on Reliability has resonated with customers, and South Africa is no exception.
DFSK’s current vehicle line-up includes a variety of practical solutions tailored to meet the diverse needs of South African consumers. Among the latest offerings are the DFSK K01S Bakkie, the DFSK C35 Panel Van, and the innovative electric vehicles, the DFSK EC35 and EC31.
DFSK K01S Bakkie: A compact, yet powerful utility vehicle, the K01S Bakkie is designed for tradesmen, small business owners, and anyone in need of a reliable workhorse. With an 985kg load capacity and a manoeuvrable frame, this “big little guy” brings convenience to tough tasks.
DFSK C35 Panel Van: This commercial transport solution offers an impressive 5.1m3 load capacity, a fuel-efficient 1.5-litre engine, and a smooth-shifting 5-speed manual gearbox. The C35 is built to handle heavy-duty loads while ensuring superior efficiency and control on the road.
