This way, the year-to-date volume is now up 30.1% to 200,435, with a prognosis to reach 245,000 units by year-end. This month Renault (+50.9%) takes the lead of the brands charts with 14.8% share, its first win since last June. Kia (+37.2%) is pushed down to #2 but holds onto the YTD top spot for just 301 sales above Renault. Chevrolet (+23.8%) repeats at #3 whereas Toyota (-16.5%) underperforms but gains one spot on last month to #4. Mazda (+5.5%) is shy at #5, distancing a surging Suzuki (+82.1%). Below Nissan (+17.7%) and Volkswagen (+39.8%), BYD (+94.2%) breaks its volume record and lodges a 9th Top 10 finish so far this year at #9.

The Mazda CX-30 (+46.8%) is back to #1 in the models ranking for the first time since last April and only the 2nd time in the past year.
