The Motor City project reflects Thorp Motor Group’s commitment to long-term growth, customer convenience and continued investment in the communities it serves, the group says.

“This new development is a symbol of our vision for the future,” says Nicky Thorp, Director at Thorp Motor Group. “We’re highly excited to expand our footprint in the Sandown, Table View area and to offer a central, customer-friendly space where our clients can explore, purchase and service vehicles from four top automotive brands – all at one venue.”

The new Motor City is set to become a motoring hub for the Bloubergstrand and West Coast areas and is designed to offer:

* Dedicated showroom spaces for five major vehicle brands, namely: Suzuki, Chery, GWM, Omoda Jaecoo and Jetour.

A modern, streamlined experience for vehicle sales and support.
