Taiwan April 2025: Sales down -11.2%, CMC J Space up to record #2

The CMC J Space is the 2nd best-selling vehicle in Taiwan in April.

Another difficult month for Taiwanese new vehicle sales with April at -11.2% year-on-year to 32,876 units. The year-to-date volume is also down -11.2% to 132,736. Brand leader Toyota (+3.8%) defies the negative context to an overwhelming 30.4% share vs. 32% so far this year. Lexus (-0.9%) and Mercedes (-3.7%) both contain their loss to close out the podium whereas CMC (+44.8%) and BMW (+13.8%) both post splendid year-on-year gains. Kia (+15.4%) is the only additional Top 12 member in positive, just as Nissan (-48.8%), Mazda (-41.7%) and Mitsubishi (-27.3%) crumble.

Model-wise, the Toyota Corolla Cross (+41.2%) sails into the distance at 9.7% share. It is followed this month by the new CMC J Space up to a record 2nd place. The Toyota RAV4 (+3.6%) is down to #3 as a result, distancing the Toyota Town Ace (-13.8%) and Yaris Cross (-19%), both in trouble. The Mercedes GLC (+53%) repeats at a fantastic 7th place, a ranking it also holds year-to-date. The Ford Kuga (+2.8%) is up to #10 and the Toyota Camry (+147.1%) up to #12.
