After losing a harsh 21% in January, the Colombian new car market slows down its decline in February at -11% to 20.294 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 37.057 units, down 16% on the same period in 2015. Perennial leader Chevrolet remains in the top spot, even improving its market share slightly at 24.4% thanks to sales down 9% to 4.949. But the Renault threat is getting more pressing each month: thanks to a renewed lineup, the French carmaker manages to lift its sales by 10% to 4.300, resulting in a much improved 21.2% share. Kia and Nissan both drop 7% but Mazda impresses once again at +23% to 1.433 sales in 5th place. Mercedes (+23%), Hino (+6%) and Volvo (+97%) are the only other manufacturers gaining ground in February.
