The Kia Picanto is once again the most popular vehicle in Colombia.

New vehicle sales in Colombia continue to surge, at +49.5% year-on-year in February to 25,582 units. This way, the year-to-date tally is now up 44.6% to 45,580. This the highest February volume in 12 years. Kia (+48.4%) follows the market to remain in the brands pole position by far with 14.6% share. It is followed like last month by Renault (+6.4%) down to 9.6% share. Chevrolet (+65.5%) advances two spots on January to #3, distancing Toyota (+25.8%) and Mazda (+9%) both weak. BYD (+136.9%) scores the biggest year-on-year gain in the Top 10 ahead of Foton (+132.3%). Notice Tesla ranking at #18 with 1.2% share for its first month in this market.

Model-wise, the Kia Picanto (+102.5%) once again doubles its year-ago volume to repeat at #1 and sign a third win in the past 6 months (add last September). The Toyota Corolla Cross (+164.4%) rallies back up six spots on last month to #2 ahead of the Kia K3. The Renault Duster Nacional (-2.4%) suffers at #4 as it ranked #1 a year ago. The BYD Yuan Up (+152.9%) brilliantly rounds out the Top 5 after ranking #4 last December. Excellent performance by the Hyundai Kona (+132.3%) up to a new record 7th place. Notice also the Ford Territory up to #15 and the Tesla Model 3 landing directly at #23.
