It was a very tough year for the Venezuelan new car market, down a harsh 24% on 2012 to 98,878 registrations, not helped by a month of December down 64% to just 2,959 sales. The models ranking is dominated by ‘oldies’: the Chevrolet Aveo is the best-seller in the country for the 9th consecutive year in spite of sales down 33% to 11,118 units and 11.2% share. However the Aveo on sale in Venezuela is the one from two generations ago. Similar situation in 2nd place: the previous generation Mitsubishi Lancer is up a fantastic 23% and 3 spots year-on-year to 7,975 sales and 8.1%. The Toyota Corolla rounds up the podium even though it is down 21% on 2012 to 4,828 units and 4.9%.
