Local producer Dacia (-17.1%) tightens its grip even further on the Moroccan brands charts, improving its market share from 27.3% to 28.6%. At the same time, sister brand Renault (-32%) sees its share thaw by two percentage points to 12.4%. Hyundai (-13.4%) overtakes Peugeot (-26.1%) to land at the third step of the podium while Volkswagen (-23.3%) remains in 5th place.

The Renault Clio (-37.3%) is down two ranks to #4 whereas the Dacia Lodgy (+158.2%) multiplies its 2019 volume by 2.5 thanks potentially to bumper sales to taxi companies.
