A few days ago I called for your help to get more recent official data for some countries – and you heard my call! Thanks to Oscar I am now able to share with you 2010 data for Ecuador. Not the most recent but better than 2009… In 2010 Ecuadorian new car sales take off, up a massive 42% year-on-year to 132,172 registrations. Chevrolet owns the market with a mammoth 40.4% market share thanks to 53,429 sales with Hyundai at #2 with 13% ahead of Kia at 8.2%, Nissan at 7.1%, Toyota at 6.6% and Mazda at 6.5%.

It is followed by the Chevrolet Luv D-Max at 8,746 units and 6.6% and the Mazda BT-50 with 7,421 sales and 5.6%. If the more recent Chevrolet Grand Vitara SZ is down 1% and one spot to #4 at 5.4%, the older Chevrolet Grand Vitara is up a very healthy 39% to #5 with 6,377 sales and 4.8%.
