Torn apart by civil war, the Yemeni new car market implodes by 88% year-on-year over the first four months of 2016 to just 655 units. Toyota remains the uncontested leader but with sales down 91% it sees its market share drop from 71.4% over the FY2015 to 60% so far in 2016, and is followed by Nissan at 18% (sales up 188%!) and BMW at 9.2% (-10%). Suzuki and Kia remain at #4 and #5 respectively while Hyundai, #2 last year, disappears. The Toyota Land Cruiser Pickup and Nissan Patrol alone account for two out of three new vehicles registered in the country over the period. Toyota has suspended deliveries of the Hilux, market leader in Yemen in 2015.
