Mexico June 2026: Renault Kwid breaks records in strongest market in 9 years

The Renault Kwid breaks into the Mexican Top 5 for the first time.

New light vehicle sales in Mexico are up 7.5% year-on-year in June to 126,902 units on revised June 2025 figures. This is the highest June result in 9 years: since the 127,419 registrations of June 2017. The year-to-date tally is now up 5.3% to 754,521. This is a new H1 record, beating the previous best of 743,105 in 2017. Nissan (-8.9%) is once again the favourite carmaker in the country but sees its share thaw to 15.2% vs. 16.8% so far this year. Chevrolet (+3.1%) on the other hand progresses but at 11% share it is also below the 12.1% it commands over H1. Volkswagen (+7.4%) matches the market and overtakes Toyota (+4.9%) while Kia (+1%) is back above Mazda (+30.9%). MG (+32.7%) and Hyundai (+15.3%) both shine but not as much as Geely, up 161.2% to #10. 

In the models charts, the Nissan Versa (-2.8%) reclaims the top spot after three months of reign by the Chevrolet Aveo (+43.5%), still shooting up and ending the month just 26 sales below the Versa. The Kia K3 (+13.5%) remains at #3 ahead of the Nissan NP300 (-21%) in freefall but back up on spot on May to #4. The Renault Kwid (+92.8%) surges 14 spots on last month to #5 with 2,985 sales and 2.4% share. This is the nameplate’s first incursion inside the Mexican Top 5 (previous best #6 in May 2022), a new volume record (previous best 2,791 in December 2023) and equal share all time high (2.4% also reached in May 2022). For its part the MG 5 (+285.9%) does even better YoY and climbs back to #6. Excellent scores also by the Mazda2 (+55.1%), Hyundai Creta (+81.9%) and Ram 1200 (+85.3%). The Geely Emgrand (+70.1%) advances to a record 12th place.
