After years of record sales, the Omani new car market hits on the brakes in 2015: down 12% year-on-year over the first Quarter to just 47.894 registrations. Toyota still obliterates the sales charts with a 54.4% market share and monopolises the Top 6 models ranking. Nissan (11%), Hyundai (8%) and Kia (4.9%) follow. The Toyota Hilux remains the best-selling vehicle in Oman by a large margin, selling more than any other manufacturer as a whole, and despite sales down 9% to 5.646 units or 11.8% share. The Toyota Land Cruiser (-14%) passes the Land Cruiser Pick-up (-24%) and Prado (-17%) to claim the 2nd spot overall while the Corolla (-1%) overtakes the Hiace (-21%) to rank 5th. The Nissan Patrol at #7 (+6%) and Toyota RAV4 at #10 (+60%) are the only nameplates in the Top 10 managing to gain ground year-on-year.
