Mexico Breaks Another Record for Car Sales.

According to INEGI, vehicle sales in Mexico have totaled 885,000 units, representing a 5% increase from the previous period.

Sales of light vehicles have risen by 3.4%, with monthly sales of 130,831 units, bringing the year-to-date total to 885,349 units, according to the Light Vehicle Registry (RAIAVL), a division of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI).

Nissan and GM have been the companies leading this record, taking the top spots on the chart. According to reports, the Japanese brand Nissan has sold 23,454 cars, taking first place among brands sold in Mexico.

General Motors took second place, having sold 16,163 vehicles. Third place went to the German automaker Volkswagen, which sold 11,687 vehicles—just 613 more than the Japanese automaker Toyota.

This figure is one of the highest on record in Mexico, and reflects steady consumer demand, which in turn has been driven by factors such as a wider selection of models, financing options, and the arrival of new brands in the country. Furthermore, these statistics allow us to identify which vehicles are most popular among Mexican buyers and which manufacturers have a strong presence in the country.

However, the growth of the Chinese automaker Geely has drawn significant attention; the company increased its sales by more than 250%, a rate that brings it close to a spot among the top ten brands with the strongest presence in Mexico. On the other hand, Suzuki saw a decline of more than 16% in sales, making it one of the companies that lost the most ground.

In this context, China has solidified its position as the second-largest source of vehicles sold in Mexico, a trend that has been driven by the growth of international manufacturers and brands with plants in China. Among them are Chevrolet, Ford, BMW, MINI, Kia, Buick, and Lincoln.

Finally, the INEGI report shows a shift in the origin of vehicles purchased by Mexicans. Although Mexico continues to hold the top spot as the leading manufacturer of cars sold domestically, 32.3% of all units are imported.
