Over in the models ranking, the Mazda CX-30 remains the favourite, with the Renault Duster in 2nd place like last month. The Chevrolet Joy rallies back up from outside the September Top 75 directly to #3 as adequate supply returns, it distances the Renault Sandero Stepway and Kia Picanto. The Suzuki Vitara edges up one spot on September to #6, the VW Gol is up 13 to #7 and the Toyota Corolla Cross up 26 to #8. Notice also the VW Voyage up 23 to #10, the Suzuki Baleno up 18 to #12 and the Chevrolet Captiva up 9 to #13.
