Cyprus March 2024: Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai atop the charts

The Kia Sportage is the best-selling vehicle in Cyprus in March.

According to numbers by our local partners SEMO Cyprus and INNOSOFT, new car sales in Cyprus drop -17.9% year-on-year in March to 1,437 units. Thanks to a strong start of the year, this leads to a Q1 volume up 10.6% to 4,464. Kia (-21.2%) is the most popular carmaker in the country but falls heavily year-on-year  to 18.6% share. Volkswagen (+55.6%) and Nissan (+284.8%) completely ignore the depressed market and post fantastic year-on-year gains to close out the podium. Hyundai (+3.3%), Ford (+106.7%), MG (+866.7%) and Volvo (+16.7%) are also in positive below.
