The Chery E5 lands directly at #16.

New car sales in Colombia surge 36.1% year-on-year in September to 33,890 units. This is the highest monthly volume in the country in almost 12 years: since the 40,395 sales of December 2014. The year-to-date tally is now up 41.4% to 247,594. The brands podium is unchanged on last month: Kia (+9.4%) dominates ahead of a soaring Toyota (+89.3%) and Renault (+6.2%). Chevrolet (+16.2%) is back above Tesla, with the latter commanding 7.2% of the market. Hyundai (+45%) and Nissan (+44.6%) also significantly outpace the market in the remainder of the Top 10. Below, notice MG (+420.2%), Chery (+319.3%), GAC (+261.9%) and GWM (+254.2%) while newcomer Geely repeats at #21.

Over in the models charts, the Tesla Model Y is on top for the 7th consecutive month (it has never ranked below #1) but sees its share fall slightly month on month to 6.6%. The Toyota Corolla Cross (+134%) and Mazda CX-30 (+17.3%) both overtake the Kia K3 (+5.9%) to complete the podium. The Chevrolet Onix (+16.3%) is back up 7 spots on August to #5, distancing the Renault Duster Nacional (+14.4%), Kia Sportage (+24.7%) and Picanto (-37.7%), the latter in complete freefall on August 2025 when it ranked #1 overall. The Nissan Qashqai (+511.1%), Renault Duster E-Tech (+127.3%), Toyota Fortuner (+159.3%) and Chevrolet Tracker (+177.7%) shine below. The new Chery E5 cracks the Top 75, landing directly at #16.
