The Omani car market is up an enormous 53% year-on-year in May to 17,005 registrations, making it the 2nd most dynamic car market in the world this month behind Qatar! The year-to-date total stands at 78,742 units up 13% on 2011. After securing a mammoth 14.5% market share in March, the Toyota Hilux improved further to an out-of-this-world 17% in April thanks to 2,840 sales and ‘falls’ back to 14.9% in May at 2,535 units. It is obviously #1 year-to-date with an imposing 11,136 sales and 14.1% share, already 59% of its Full Year 2011 volume…

Excellent month for the Toyota Land Cruiser Pick-up #2 both in April at 9.8% share and May at 10.1% thanks to 1,719 sales, and now also in the 2012 year-to-date ranking at 7,140 units and 9.1%. #1 in 2011, the Toyota Land Cruiser is down to #3 year-to-date in 2012 with 6,950 sales and 8.8%. Like in 2011, the entire 2012 Top 7 is 100% Toyota, with the Prado at #4 followed by the Corolla, Hiace and Camry.

The best-selling non-Toyota in Oman in May is the Nissan Sunny up to a shiny 5th position with 654 sales and 3.8%, while the Lexus LX brilliantly maintains itself within the Top 10 at #9 with 376 units and 2.2%. It is now also #9 year-to-date vs. #13 in 2011. The only other model not belonging to the Toyota Group that manages to claw its way into the Omani Top 10 in May is the Hyundai Elantra at #10 with 344 sales and 2%.

Other great performers this month include the Nissan Altima up 18 spots on April to #14, the Hyundai Tucson up 18 to #18, the Nissan Juke up 32 to #32, the Hyundai Azera up 67 to #37, the Nissan Qashqai up 66 to #45, the Hyundai Veloster up 92 to #57, the Renault Duster landing directly at #62 and the Suzuki Jimny up 72 to #78.
