Registrations for the NADA (National Automobile Dealers’ Association) 2025 Connect Conference have opened.
The conference, the ninth, will be held on 13 March at the Focus Rooms in Sandton, Johannesburg.
As is usually the case with NADA’s annual conferences, the organisers have lined up a sizzling roster of speakers, including Dawie Roodt, Ghana Msibi and Juliet McGuire.
NADA is a professional body that represents the interests of business people who own, operate and manage new passenger and commercial vehicle franchise motor dealerships and qualifying used vehicle only outlets in South Africa.
New vehicle sales in 2026 continued their positive trend in April, with the 47 979 units sold marking the best April figure since 2013. This represents a remarkable performance by local automotive retailers despite a host of economic headwinds and a challenging trading environment.
April 2026 marked a turning point in South Africa’s economic landscape, as global energy markets were jolted by escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, according to naamsa | The Automotive Business Council.
Audi is preparing to roll out its biggest SUV yet in the United States (US) this summer, betting that demand for high-end, three-row models will hold up even as trade tensions threaten to raise import costs.
