Leading luxury vehicle armourer, Armormax, has announced a range of new models now available for armouring in South Africa. With the broadest armoured vehicle portfolio in the local market, Armormax continues to set the benchmark through its global partnerships and deep commercial network.

Marketing Manager, Michael Broom, explains:

“We work with the world’s leading armoured vehicle component suppliers in a collaborative global network that enables constant knowledge sharing and product development. In many cases, Armormax has pioneered armouring solutions for new vehicle models that are later adopted internationally by top-tier armourers. This allows us to bring proven, globally validated solutions to market faster than anyone else without compromising on quality or standards.”

Armormax continuously evaluates South African vehicle sales trends and customer demand to identify platforms best suited to armouring. The rapid growth of established Chinese automotive brands, for example, represents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking modern features, value, and suitability for protection solutions. At the same time, Armormax remains committed to supporting new generations of vehicles it has successfully armoured historically.

“We don’t rest on our laurels,” Broom adds. “Market leadership is earned daily. Innovation, constant product development, and adapting to the evolving automotive landscape are what keep us ahead. These new models represent both opportunity for us and meaningful choice for our customers. South Africans deserve to drive what they love - safely, confidently, and without compromise. We believe protection should enable lifestyle, not limit it.”

New models available for B4 (and in some cases B6) armouring include:

BMW G60 5 Series

BYD Shark 6

Chery Tiggo 8

Ford Tourneo Custom

GWM Tank 500

GWM P300 and P500

Haval H6

Jetour T2

Volkswagen Tiguan

Volvo XC40

Volvo EX90

Many of these vehicles are offered in HEV, PHEV, and full EV configurations. Armormax has extensive experience working with New Energy Vehicles and was the first company to armour a full electric vehicle in South Africa in 2022, completing a Jaguar I-Pace in collaboration with JLR South Africa. Since then, Armormax has successfully armoured multiple HEV and PHEV models across brands including Land Rover, Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz.
