As coronavirus total cases surge from 306.181 to 641.574 in the past month alone, lockdowns were reimposed in Bogota and other areas of the country throughout August and as a result the Colombian new vehicle market worsens again in August at -43.2% year-on-year to 13.226 units, an almost identical rate as the YTD volume down -43% to 100.102. The Top 10 brands are unchanged on July, with Renault (-42.4%) holding onto the top spot above Chevrolet (-34.1%), Mazda (-40.2%), Nissan (-45.3%) and Kia (-48.5%). Once again Chinese truck maker Foton (-3.9%) resists best and manages to stay inside the Top 10 vs. #13 so far in 2020. Below, JMC (+150%), Scania (+112.1%), Kenworth (+106.1%), Changan (+65.2%) and JAC (+3.8%) all manage a year-on-year gain in the reminder of the Top 30. Model-wise, the Chevrolet Onix (-15.7%) confirms it is the country’s new favourite with a 5th consecutive win above the Renault Kwid (-22.6%), Duster (-36.7%) and Sandero Stepway (-44.4%). The Mazda CX-30 leaps back up to a fantastic 6th place.
