KG Mobility Global Model Sales : 2025











KGM (SsangYong) is a small fish and needs to grow to survive. It cannot sustain itself with current volume and that is understood. The KG Group took ownership in 2022 and has ambitions to succeed when numerous previous owners have failed. It has formed a strategic partnership with Chery Automobile to assist in achieving its aim. 

The Torres mid sized SUV is the leading model, with the Musso pick up (picture above) is the next most sought after. The compact Tivoli SUV is third and is followed by the large Rexton SUV (which has the same platform as the Musso). 

Finally the slightly more premium Acyton mid sized SUV (picture below the chart) which is the same length as the Torres. The Korando SUV is last and is similarly sized to the Torres although slightly smaller. 

The range is basically SUVs and they also sell in similar numbers too, the Torres being the exception. The whole range is not that far spaced apart in terms of length. 

Selling cars in Korea is currently not that successful for KGM. 3,350 units per month at home this year isn't great. At least exports are doing better and maybe that is the priority. The 63.6% for exported vehicles is the highest since 2010. 

Lexus UK Sales : 2024-25











The registration figures for 2025  were 16,457. Overall a solid 2025, down 1%. The LBX (photo above) has excelled itself, now accounting for 42% of the total. The LM MPV also did well too, in its second full year. 

Lexus isn't a strong marque in Europe but it does better in the UK than other major European markets.

Argentina Car/LCV Sales : 2025

















Registrations for cars and light commercials have been well down for several years. This year, sales returned with a bang. They were up 48% for the year and 10% up on the average for the last ten years. It is still short of some of the record years, but 2025 will be the best year since 2018. 

Toyota is enjoying its fifth consecutive year at the top, but VW is now not far behind. Toyota has dropped from 21.7% share to 16.8% while VW has nearly held on to its share of the pie. 

Finding a brand that has actually decreased in volume is all but impossible, such has been the strong registrations. The chart below shows market share variance.
