The list is made up of Family class Sedans that made a suitable run during the last quarter of 2019 this cars are just not worth their seset value they are equally dependable and worth every cent.this are cars the middle class of the country have preferred to invest in but as regional customs go this cars will be on our roads long After they're original value and warranty had expired.they will make it through a list of appreciative owners through the next Twenty some years and will be the icons of yesterday but right now they are in the hands of the first owners.
Alfa Romeo might be one of Europes leading auto brands but still has to make sustainable sales in Namibia, though dealers have been around for decades they are more likely to play supporting roles for parts and technical assistance but most of the cars on the road from its brand name are imported from somewhere else.in 2019 they had a great experience in the local market thanks to the Giulia Quadrifoglio which had a warm heart felt welcome from the local mostly the upper middle class community who are once again at a steady rise and trying out some unique and stylish fashionable brands.
Just like the Giulia Quadrifoglio the 508 SW has been influenced by the rise of the new young middle class majority of whom are beneficiaries of the rise in inequality and social segregation those associated with the ruling upper class have created a circle of influencers that sets up trends that dwindle into uncharted territory and disappear just as fast as they emerged just like any other social circle in Namibia we won't know how long this trend will remain and sources show it is unsuitable and unsustainable for the region and does not reflect the image of its underlying behemoth of a extremely impoverished society that live on as little as $1 a day besides it's geographic seclusion bravo to the 508 for a incredibly well designed and manufactured piece of modern family transport vehicle.
The VW is no stranger to Namibia with all its global fame it is still highly rates around here and when the CC first made its debut it was welcomed like royalty and ever since has been the new and improved Passat as Namibia is a country with towns displaced by distance you will require considerable time behind the steering wheel before you reach just about any destination that and with that and having one of the highest road accidents compared to its population on the continent urged a majority of intelligent drivers to go for comfort rather than speed and the specifications that accompany the CC have made a much pleasurable ride for most that chose it over the years.
Back in the late 90's and 2000's the Nissan Sentra was a road angel it was the chosen transport of the local Road Safety campaigns ran by the Municipalities throughout the country but as times have changed its name had faded into history but for once one of its kind has once more braced the country and it delivers just like the sentra but when local realist replaced the faithful Sentra with the now defunct Almiera there was a subtle vacuum in the local auto industry and here comes a little breather the Altima will probably be around here long after most of the cars on this list vanish in time,mostly due to local mechanics ingenuity and creative techniques that just about keeps Nissan Sedans running even if their Warranty has left the two or more decades.
The Sonata has came a long way from its humble beginnings to forge out what one would call a major player in the future of modern auto mechanism it had just a little bit of influence on the industry in the late 90's but it's brand has matured well filling the gap to a vacuum that defines affordable luxury and the Sonata a class that has been on the forefront of Hyundai still plays a major role today with technology changing on rabid pace it's harder than ever for car makers to stay in the mainstream supply chain but Hyundai has kept a steady pace and is today regarded as a whole lot better than most factory production models and if the current state of affairs remain it will easily knock Toyota of its pad a stool.
This is the second time the Fusion makes it into the top 10 list this year making it one of the most expandable and fitting car of 2019 mostly to the Namibian climate the power it delivers exactly matches its comfort and driving abilities, its sporty beautiful design on the exterior and spacious interior makes it unique to driving inside Namibia.
The Honda accord has made this class a platform to display it's true intent on being a extremely important contributor in family transport throughout the world it has spared no technology moving into this category year in and year out when there is a top 10 midsize sedan list out there it almost always has a Honda in it, but Honda made a unorthodox entry into the Namibian automotive industry with street racers the first to recognize this cars inner performance now it's first appearance has dented it's entire reputation but some quality fients have come up with rebranding structures with support from its local dealerships to restore it's true credentials and make the public aware that this is not a lethal transport toy meant for adrenaline junkies.
The Mercedes Benz CLA the top of its class is the epitome of modern auto technology its oldest dealership in the country M&Z has been delivering a lot more than just support it has kept the brands name at its best, which is why most Namibians still regard the Mercedes-Benz as a dependable supplier if there is one thing that vastly reduce a cars value in Namibia besides it's geographic location is its harsh climate but the Mercedes seem to outlast it's warranty effortlessly without any major mechanical problems and thrive around here strange for a high end automobile even if some drivers use it for offroad terrain for its entirety like they say if a car can drive for 20 years in Namibia it can last a whole lot longer on Mars.
The Volvo S90 could only be used in conjunction with certain regions of the country some believe the Volvo is more of a Northern Hemisphere automobile and still has to prove its own right.it does everything it's brand requires of it except appeal to the locals better nature, most owners are very sceptic to its mechanical properties and sticks to using it on the inner city not venturing far from home even if manufacturers are confident that it could with stand an condition just as well as the CLA.
Unlike the CC the Passat has been around here on acceptable supply since the early 90's probably even the 80's it has a self sustainable client base and support for this region but even if the Namibian Economy still remains in the twilight after and during the post world recession era, entrepreneur still seem to Scrabble up some ingenious initiatives to conjure up just about enough to get themselves on of this the Passat just like the C class Mercedes call this region home and unlike the Mercedes local mechanics have been following this Automobile throughout it existence and know their why around its mechanisms and usually gives it the longest livesspan in Namibia than any of the cars on the list.
