Toyota also became the first manufacturer to sell more than 10,000 monthly units in July. Mitsubishi remains at a world-best #2 but sees its market share slide to 18.6% vs. 20.3% in 2013 due to sales up ‘just’ 16%. Hyundai rounds up the podium, while Ford (+53%) and Isuzu (+20%) both overtake Honda, stable.
