The Taiwanese new car market slides down 5.5% year-on-year in June to 37.889 registrations, but the year-to-date tally remains in the black at +2.6% to 222.194 units. Only 3 of the Top 10 best-selling manufacturers manage a year-on-year gain in June, with Honda (+50%) being by far the most impressive and Lexus (+10%) and Volkswagen (+2%) following at a distance. Both market leaders Toyota and Mitsubishi/CMC drop a hefty 13%, BMW is down 14% and Ford implodes an estimated 36%. Mercedes (-2%), Mazda (-5%) and Nissan/Infiniti (-6%) see more measured drops. After losing the top spot for the first time since September 2013 last month, the Toyota Corolla reclaims its place under the Taiwanese sun in June despite deliveries hit a steep 37%. Victorious in May, the Honda CR-V (+489%) remains strong in 2nd place while Toyota monopolises the remainder of the Top 5 like last month with the RAV4 (-13%), Sienta (-10%) and Yaris (+2%). Notice also the Toyota C-HR up 269% to #15, the Mazda CX-3 up 23% to #20 and the Skoda Karoq landing directly at #65.
