Cyprus July 2024: Volkswagen up 181.3%, Kia Stonic back to #1

The Kia Stonic is back to the Cyprus top spot in July.

According to our local partners SEMO Cyprus and INNOSOFT, the Cyprus new car market is off a harsh -19.3% year-on-year to 1,360 units. The year-to-date tally however up 8.9% to 10,150. Kia (-38.9%) easily remains on top of the brands charts despite a damning year-on-year fall. Volkswagen (+181.3%) surges ahead and overtakes Hyundai (-2.7%) to rank #2 overall. Toyota (-45.8%) implodes but manages to stay in 4th place. In contrast, Nissan (+60%) and BMW (+37.9%) defy the freefalling market with stunning gains. Jeep (+360%), Suzuki (+257.1%), Land Rover (+92.9%) and Dacia (+76.5%) also impress below.

Model-wise, the Kia Stonic (+5%) edges up to reclaim the pole position it holds year-to-date with a strong 10.9% share. Leader for the past three month, the Hyundai Tucson (+59%) drops to #2 but still posts a splendid year-on-year lift. It is also the case for the next five models, with the VW T-Cross (+975%) the most dynamic above the VW T-Roc (+431%), Nissan Juke (+100%), Nissan Qashqai (+65.4%) and Kia Sportage (+53.3%).
