Thanks to our partnership with SEMO Cyprus and INNOSOFT, we can share with you today March sales data for Cyprus, a market up a splendid 35.2% year-on-year to 1.906 registrations, lifting the year-to-date volume up 15% to 4.188 units. After being dominated by the Kia Stonic last month, the Cypriot models ranking, heavily impacted by rental sales in the lead up to the Summer season, goes through another significant facelift in March, this time crowing the Kia Rio (up 8-fold on March 2017) and the Mini Countryman coming out of the February YTD Top 30 directly into 2nd place for the month at 5th position YTD. The Picanto (+115%) makes it two Kias on the podium and now ranks #1 YTD. It is followed this month by the Nissan Qashqai (+44%) and the Skoda Fabia up 13-fold YTD and up to 5th in March for its first appearance in the ranking in the five years we have followed Cyprus. The Nissan Micra (#7), Fiat Tipo (#11), Ford Kuga (#12) and Citroen C3 (#13) also impress while the February leader, the Kia Stonic, is down 20 spots to #21 but still manages a world-best 7th place YTD.
