The Chilean new car market is up a very solid 11% year-on-year in 2013 to 378,240 registrations, way higher than the 350,000 forecast at the start of the year and to my knowledge an all-time record for the country. In the brands ranking, Chevrolet remains the best-seller by far in spite of sales down 1% to 56,596 units, losing almost two percentage points of market share at 15%. Hyundai is down from 10.4% to 9.2% but stays #2 while Kia passes Nissan to become the third best-selling car market in the country with 8.4% share. Notice also Mazda up 48% and 9 spots to #9, SsangYong up 17% to #11, Mahindra up 52% to #15, Fiat up 49% to #16 and Mercedes up 62% to #19.
