Colombia September 2025: Sales up 45.2%, Kia (+77.1%) places Picanto and K3 on top

The Kia Picanto is the best-selling vehicle in Colombia in September.

The Colombian new vehicle market surges 45.2% year-on-year in September to 24,894 units, making it the best month of the year so far. However, remember September 2024 was off -34.7% on the year prior. Through September, sales are up a stunning 29.3% to 175,157. Kia (+77.1%) reclaims control of the brands charts with 14.4% share, its highest since last February. Renault (+39.6%) almost matches the market and stays in 2nd place ahead of a strong Chevrolet (+62.8%). Mazda (+15.2%) is significantly more muted whereas Toyota (-27.2%), #1 last month, dives to #5. BYD (+225.8%) delivers the biggest YoY gain in the Top 20 and passes the 1,000 monthly sales milestone for the first time but is down one spot on August to #9. Hyundai (+79.6%) and Suzuki (+66%) also impress.

In the models ranking, Kia monopolises the Top 2 with the Picanto (+131.3%) at #1 and the K3 (+54.5%) at #2. The Mazda CX-30 (+5.6%) is down one spot to #3, distancing the Chevrolet Onix (+108.8%) and Renault Duster Nacional (+48.2%). The Kia Sportage (+240.4%) spectacularly storms into the Top 10 at #6, up 8 ranks on last month. #1 last month and year-to-date, the Toyota Corolla Cross (-35%) would rather forget about this month. The best-selling newcomer is once again the BYD Yuan Up albeit down 3 spots to #11.
