The Nissan Magnite is up to a record 4th place in May.

The Mexican new vehicle market is up 5% year-on-year in May to 127,107 units. This is a new May record, eclipsing the 122,925 sales of May 2017. At 627,619 units after 5 months, sales are also at a record level, beating the 615,686 of the 5 months of 2017. Nissan (-4.9%) stays atop the brands charts with 16.9% share, distancing Chevrolet (+2.8%) and Toyota (-1.2%). Volkswagen (+3.9%) follows while Mazda (+12.5%) pips Kia (+5.1%) to round out the Top 5.

Below, Dodge (+84.3%), Renault (+25.4%), Ram (+22.1%) and Changan (+21.2%) stand out.

Over in the models charts, the Chevrolet Aveo (+5.7%) threepeats at #1, which is starting to be a little worrying for the Nissan Versa (-22.8%) in complete freefall and now just 1,606 sales above the Aveo year-to-date. The Kia K3 (+15.5%) is down one rank on last month to #3 while the Nissan Magnite (+89.7%) is up one spot to a new ranking record at #4, beating its previous best of #5 reached just last month. It also breaks its volume (3,751) and share (3%) records.
