JMC Drops the Price Tag on Its Vigus Pickup – What South Africans Are Paying
By Cale Nuttall – 10 Dec 2025
JMC has finally revealed the official prices for its popular Vigus pickup (bakkie) range in South Africa. The automaker’s move comes after last month’s announcement of a full relaunch of its operations back in the country.
A quick recap
Back in November, JMC told us it was returning to the South African market with a fresh lineup of Vigus bakkies. The company also teased that it would soon release targeted price points for the range. Today, the numbers are out and ready for the road.
Head on to the numbers
While we’re still waiting for the full list of models and trim levels, the key takeaway is that the Vigus is now available at several price points designed to appeal to both everyday users and commercial users alike.
Note: The complete pricing details are now on the market. Keep an eye out for the official JMC website and local dealerships for full specs and options.
Why it matters
For years JMC has been a key supplier of cost‑effective, tough trucks in South Africa. The Vigus, with its robust build and proven track record, fits the bill for farmers, tradesmen, and logistics operators who need reliability without breaking the bank.
Whether the Vigus will become a headline‑making pickup in the SA market remains to be seen, but the firm’s fresh price points give it a solid footing against rivals like Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger.
