The Egyptian new light vehicle market is in great shape once again this month: up 11% year-on-year in March to 25,491 registrations, which brings the first quarter total to 72,193 deliveries, up 15% on 2014. The Chevrolet TFR pickup (aka Isuzu D-Max) cements its newfound leadership of the market with 2,404 sales, above the Hyundai Verna (2.162) and Nissan Sunny (1.425) back to the third spot it holds year-to-date. The Mitsubishi Lancer EX is up a further two spots on February to #5 overall, after a difficult start of the year the Renault Logan unlocks itself at #7 as does the Sandero at #23. But the big surprise this month is the 12th place of the Suzuki Ciaz, up a whopping 49 spots on February thanks to 555 sales and 2.2% share, thus shooting up to #25 so far in 2015. Affordable sedans are a pet fave of Egyptian crowds so the Ciaz could well climb further up in the coming months.
