The Mitsubishi Colt Plus shines in second place at 1,052 units and 4.3%. Taiwan is by far its best country in the world, the model being available in a limited number of export countries. The Nissan Livina delivers its best ever ranking in Taiwan at #3 with 970 sales and 4%, ahead of the Mitsubishi Veryca (3.6%) and the Mitsubishi Lancer Fortis (2.8%), up 11 spots on April at #5.
