It’s a very difficult start of the year for Egyptian new vehicle sales: down 32% in January to 15.391 units and another 31% in February to 16.527, pulling the year-to-date total down 32% after two months at 46.702 registrations. In January, the Chevrolet TFR, leader in 2014 and 2015, holds onto the pole position with 9.2% share, keeping a comfortable distance with the Hyundai Verna (7.7%) and Nissan Sunny (5%) while the Nissan Pickup jumps 21 spots on December to a stunning 4th place and the Nissan Sentra is up 24 to #7.

The new Kia Sportage lands at #30 in February. 

But the month of February belongs to one newcomer: after ranking #67 in December and #27 in January, the Hyundai Tucson spectacularly takes the lead of the Egyptian new car market thanks to 1.291 sales and 7.8% share. The Hyundai Verna (7.4%) overtakes the Chevrolet TFR (6.1%) which however keeps the year-to-date lead by just 7 units. The Peugeot 301 goes from #112 in January to a formidable 8th place in February, the Hyundai Creta is up to #16, the Solaris up to #22 and we welcome two all-nw models in Egypt this month: the all-new Kia Sportage (#30) and the Opel Mokka (#32).
