The Kuwaiti new car market is up 8% year-on-year in July to 12,234 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 86,852 units, up 9% on 2012. If the Toyota Prado unsurprisingly holds onto its traditional pole position thanks to 1,099 sales and 9% share (vs. 10.5% year-to-date), the big event this month is the 2nd place of the Mitsubishi Pajero, up 9 spots on June to 616 sales and 5% share which is more than double its year-to-date level of 2.2% (#8).

Kia Optima

The Toyota Camry is also in great shape, up 3 spots to #3 while the Toyota Hilux is down 2 to #4. The other two great performers in the Top 10 are the Chevrolet Tahoe up 4 ranks to #6 with 304 sales and 2.5% and the Kia Optima up 5 to #9 at 218 units and 1.8%. Notice also the Dodge Charger up 13 to #12 vs. #20 year-to-date, the Toyota Sequoia up 19 to #15 vs. #26 and the Nissan Sentra up 47 to #19 vs. #53.
