This brings the year-to-date tally to 6.677 units, down -21.2% on the same period in 2019. And indeed the Top 6 best-selling models for the month are in positive, with all nameplates on the podium at least tripling their August 2019 volume! The Nissan Juke (+346.2%) spectacularly takes the lead of the Cyprus charts for the month thanks to a new generation. This is the first time the Juke is #1 in Cyprus since we started following this market monthly in January 2017, with its previous best being #4 hit in February 2017 and December 2018. The Juke is followed by the VW T-Roc (+212.5%) and Jeep Renegade (+311.1%) with the Kia Stonic (+57.1%), Hyundai Tucson (+8.7%) and Hyundai Kona (+109.1%) in tow. In what we at BSCB believe is a first in Cyprus, the entire Top 11 best-selling models for August are SUVs!, with the Volvo XC40 (+150%), BMW X1 (+200%) and Mitsubishi ASX (#11) also impressive. The Nissan Micra (+133.3%) is the most popular car and only one in the Top 16 at an estimated #12.
