The Singaporean new car market is up another 28% in October to 7.809 units, lifting the year-to-date tally up 63% to 73.221 units, a recovery due to lower prices for Certificates of Entitlements. After snapping the YTD pole position off Toyota last month, Honda confirms it is the new master in command in Singapore with a fourth consecutive month as the best-selling brand in the country at 2.031 sales and 26% share, up 84% year-on-year. Toyota gains “just” 22% to 1.615 and 20.7% share and now adds up to 15.409 YTD (+65%) vs. 15.940 (+171%) for Honda. Below, Nissan (-2%), Volkswagen (-27%), Mazda (-32%) and Hyundai (-38%) go against the grain and post year-on-year declines, Mercedes jumps 40%, Kia is up 45%, BMW up 76%, Jaguar up 77%, Chevrolet up 88% and Mitsubishi is up 230%.
