Audi South Africa announced the launch of a number of special-edition derivatives across key product ranges.
What’s New?
Black Edition and Urban Edition models boast additional cosmetic and functional features and will be available in the market from early 2024, along with compelling Audi Assured offers.
The range:
The first models to receive the Black Edition treatment are Audi South Africa’s sophisticated A4 and S4 sedan ranges. On the A4, the Black Edition package can be selected for the 35 TFSI, 35 TDI and 40 TFSI models, while it’s also an option on the S4 TFSI.
Only 100 A4 Black Edition versions will be imported to South Africa, making these derivatives a highly unique sight on our roads. In the case of the A4 Black Edition, the cost of this special-edition model is significantly lower were these items to be optioned individually. These models are available immediately.
Exterior:
Some of the signature features of the A4 Black Edition models include Black Styling Package, including black badging, Matrix LED headlights, Privacy glass, 19-inch alloy wheels and a glass sunroof.
Interior:

More models:
In 2024, Audi South Africa will extend the Black Edition treatment to a number of key product ranges, including the Q2, A3 and S3, A5 and S5, Q3 SUV and Sportback, plus the Q5 SUV and Sportback. These will be rolled out progressively throughout the year.

The South African motor industry has lost one of its longstanding business figures following the passing of Jebb McIntosh, the group chief executive of Combined Motor Holdings (CMH), on Monday, 2 November 2026.
“South Africa’s automotive industry has been AGOA’s largest user, but for the sector the preference has already been largely overridden by the 25% Section 232 tariffs applied on vehicles and components. Losing AGOA adds a further cost to an industry that has already absorbed a significant shock.”
Foton has started building vehicles in South Africa, and the first overseas vehicle manufacturing base of BAIC Group is now in Gqeberha.

MG Motor South Africa used its MG Tech Day and Premium SUV Family launch event to show what is coming to its SUV range. The brand was founded in Britain in 1924, and in 1931 its EX120 ‘Magic Midget’ became the first 750 cc car to exceed 160 km/h.
Tata Motors has expanded its local SUV portfolio with the launch of the all-new Punch. Available in three derivatives, the compact SUV introduces refreshed styling, upgraded technology and six airbags as standard across the range, while also becoming the first Punch sold locally with a turbocharged engine option.
Isuzu Motors South Africa has introduced its all-new seventh-generation N-Series truck range, representing the most comprehensive update to the company's light and medium-duty commercial vehicle line-up in years.
