In the brands wholesales ranking, Toyota (+3.2%) and Daihatsu (+6.5%) trail the market by a significant margin but easily remain in the lead, adding up to 47.6% share vs. 50.3% YTD. Honda (+55.7%) shoots up year-on-year but remains in third place. In fact the Top 5 is unchanged on July and YTD, with Mitsubishi (-7%) and Suzuki (-19.5%) in tow and both in difficulty.

The Mitsubishi Xpander (+15.5%) and Toyota Calya (+23.9%) exchange their position vs. July, with the Suzuki Carry Pikap (-9.1%) and Honda Brio (+94%) rounding out the Top 5 in very different fashion. The Daihatsu Gran Max Pikap (+73.1%) is also very dynamic at #8 but the event of the month is the 8th place of the new Hyundai Stargazer, up 26 ranks on last month and breaking into the Top 10 for only its second month in market.
