The Venezuelan new car market is still stuck in a hole: down 76% year-on-year in May to just 2,637 registrations, which brings the year-to-date total to 7,147 units, down a horrendous 86% on 2013. As it is the case in Ukraine, in this chaos Chinese carmakers seem to be holding better. The Civetchi Pick-up (aka Dongfeng Utah) remains the most popular vehicle in the country for the 2nd month running with 448 sales and 17% market share, earning it the top spot year-to-date as well at 1,300 units and 18.2%, passing the Mitsubishi Lancer at 1,226 and 17.2%. The Ford Explorer (11.1%), Chevrolet C3500 (10.7%) and Ford F350 (10.2%) also command extravagant market shares.
