Algoa Nissan named Nissan South Africa dealer of the year

Algoa Nissan has been named Nissan South Africa’s overall dealer of the year, an award that recognises the dealerships that South African Nissan owners rely on for sales, service and finance. The title was presented at the company’s Ignition Awards in Pretoria, where Ghana’s Japan Motors was named the best Nissan dealership in Nissan Independent Markets Africa (NIMA).

The gala event marked the mid-point of the three-day inaugural Festival of Nissan, which was headlined by the launch of the new Tekton. Dealers across South Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa were recognised in multiple categories.

Nissan Africa President Jordi Vila said the future of the brand in South Africa and across Africa “will not be shaped by products alone. Products open the door. Dealers build the relationship.” Nissan South Africa managing director Juan Wheeler said South Africa is one of Nissan’s most important markets on the continent, with a heritage of 65 years and a line-up being renewed through the Tekton, the updated X-Trail, the new Navara and the next Patrol.

Nissan Africa head of brand and communications Ramy Mohareb said customers across South Africa are never more than 25 minutes from an authorised Nissan dealership. He said the dealers invest in technical staff, carry the right spares and operate with the right equipment, giving Nissan owners access to expert support within reach of where they live.
