South Africa's Top 5 Bakkie Seat Covers: Hilux, Ranger, D-Max, Haval and More

South Africa has one of the highest bakkie-per-capita rates in the world. Our roads, work requirements and lifestyle make the double cab bakkie the default vehicle choice for millions of South Africans. Here's a quick-reference guide to seat cover availability for the five models that consistently dominate our sales charts.

1. Toyota Hilux GD6 (2016–2026)

The Hilux has been SA's best-selling vehicle overall for many years. The GD6 generation is available in Single Cab, Extra Cab and Double Cab configurations.

Available at Any Car Seat Covers:

• Kindo Covers: Double Cab full set from R5,582.50
• Escape Gear: Double Cab full set from R9,745 (3 fabric options)
• Escape Gear moulded floor mats: front row from R1,395
• Escape Gear dash protector available

Key fitment note: Specify your cab type (Single/Extra/Double) and whether you have the GR-Sport variant, as the GR-Sport has unique sport seats.

2. Ford Ranger T6/T7 (2012–2022)

The Ford Ranger has been a consistent second-place finisher to the Hilux in SA bakkie sales. The T6 and T7 generations share the same basic seat architecture, making cover compatibility broad across the 10-year production run.

Available at Any Car Seat Covers:

• Kindo Covers: Double Cab full set from R5,582.50; Single Cab, Extra Cab and Raptor patterns also available
• Escape Gear: Double Cab from R9,745 in Cotton Canvas, Polycotton or Polyenduro
• Escape Gear moulded floor mats and dash protectors available

Key fitment note: The Ranger Raptor requires its own dedicated pattern — do not order the standard Double Cab. For the 2023 Next-Gen Ranger, separate patterns are required.

3. Isuzu D-Max G7 (2022–2026)

The Isuzu D-Max G7 was a surprise success story when it launched in 2022, with Isuzu rapidly climbing the bakkie sales rankings. The G7 generation is a complete redesign from the previous D-Max.

Available at Any Car Seat Covers:

• Kindo Covers: Double Cab full set from R5,582.50
• Escape Gear: seat covers available from R5,195 (front only)

Key fitment note: Specify G7 (2022+) when ordering. Earlier D-Max covers (pre-2022) will not fit the G7.

4. Haval Jolion (2021–2026)

The Haval Jolion is the success story of South Africa's growing Chinese vehicle market. In the compact SUV segment, it has consistently outsold many established Japanese and Korean competitors since its 2021 launch.

Available at Any Car Seat Covers:

• Kindo Covers: 5-seater full set from R5,582.50
• Moulded floor mats: front set from R1,102, boot mat from R1,102

5. GWM P-Series (2021–2026)

The GWM P-Series has earned strong reviews in the bakkie segment, offering genuine capability and a well-specified interior at a competitive price point.

Available at Any Car Seat Covers:

• Escape Gear: Double Cab seat covers from R5,195 (front only) in multiple fabric options including Cotton Canvas and Polycotton Tough Canvas

General Advice for Bakkie Seat Covers

Protect Early

The biggest mistake bakkie owners make is waiting until the original upholstery shows wear before fitting seat covers. Covers fitted on day one of ownership provide the best protection and the cleanest result. Covers fitted to already-worn seats can't reverse existing damage.

Consider the Whole Interior

A complete interior protection package for a double cab bakkie typically includes:

• Front and rear seat covers
• Front and rear rubber or moulded floor mats
• Load bay bin liner or rubber mat
• Dash protector (for UV protection of the dashboard)

The total cost of a full interior protection package is typically R8,000–R15,000 depending on the bakkie and product choices — compared to reupholstery costs of R15,000–R40,000+ when original upholstery reaches end of life.

Find Your Bakkie's Covers

Use the product finder — select your make, model and year to see all available seat cover, floor mat and accessory options for your specific bakkie configuration.
