Further down, GMC (+122.1%) and Suzuki (+46.1%) impress.

Model-wise, the Toyota Land Cruiser (+81.4%) widens the gap with the rest of the market with 8.7% share, distancing the Toyota Prado (+20.9%). The Nissan Sunny (+51.4%) is up six spots on a year ago to #3 but the best performer in the Top 10 is the Jetour T2, up 289.7% to #4. The Ford Territory (+5.2%) rounds out the Top 5, ahead of the Toyota Camry (-2.7%) and a freefalling Nissan Patrol (-37.2%). The Chevrolet Tahoe (+90%), Kia Sportage (+47.4%) and Nissan X-Trail (+47.2%) stun.
