Top 50: Latin America's best selling cars in 2019
While the Chevrolet Onix remains the best-selling vehicle in the Latin American region, the Nissan Kicks was positioned as a favorite in the SUV segment. As always, the ranking is strongly influenced by Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina.
As a result of the instability of the economies in Latin America, the regional vehicle market maintained a very oscillating movement during the previous year, which finally remained at a level of stagnation to decline. While there was slight growth in Brazil and Colombia, sales in Mexico and Argentina fell sharply.
Thus, taking the information from 40 countries and without major changes from previous years, the consulting firm Focus2Move managed to consolidate the consolidated vehicle sales in Latin America for 2019.
Of course, this 'ranking' reflects especially the records made in Brazil (2,655,297 units), Mexico (1,317,727) and Argentina (459,592). In the latter territory, sales fell by 42.7%.
Bestsellers
There are no major surprises on the podium of the region's best-selling cars. The Chevrolet Onix, now in its first generation, continues to be number 1 in Latin America with 276,822 units, an increase of 8.1% compared to 2018 registrations.
The list continues with the Ford Ka/Figo, with 172,195 vehicles (-3.7%), the Toyota Hilux with 130,727 trucks (-3.1%), the Nissan Versa with 128,011 units (-6.5%) and the Volkswagen Gol, with 116,608 deliveries (-8.3%).
In the SUV segment, it led the Nissan Kicks, produced in Mexico and Brazil, with 92,467 units (+1.0%) and in ninth place overall. It is followed by the Jeep Renegade, Hyundai Crete, and Honda HR-V. And in the 'city cars' segment, Renault Kwid leads with 116,228 cars (+25.6%) and sixth place in the overall ranking.
