New vehicle sales in Argentina register a second straight annual positive result and climb 6.7% year-on-year to 407,532 units. Toyota (+16.2%) more than doubles the market growth to cement its domination at 20.9%. In the space of a couple of years, Toyota has imposed itself as the main force in the Argentinean market. Fiat (+10.6%) is also very dynamic and lodges a second consecutive year of double digit gains to step up to 2nd place overall with 13.7% share. Volkswagen (-14.8%) goes against the positive market and drops to #3 whereas it led the way in 2020. Renault (+26.5%) and Peugeot (+31.2%) both soar and make it four double-digit gainers in the Top 5. Citroen (+11.3%) also shines at #9 in a year benefitting French carmakers.

The Chevrolet Cruze (+79.5%), Renault Kangoo (+67.1%) and Toyota Yaris (+21.5%) also beat the market in the remainder of the Top 10.
