Uruguay Car/LCV Sales : 2025

Registrations were up 9% to 69.000, a good result. Better still, it was 40% up the the previous ten year average! 2025 was a record year, beating the previous best of 2024. 

Fiat moved into top spot, ending Chevrolet's three year tenure in that cherished ranking. BYD has moved into third and surely has intent on improving on that. Many other Chinese brands are now present here and doing quite well. 

It's unusual to see Toyota back at 13th, the lowest place since a poor year it had in 2015. That reflects what a tough market place this is, with a plethora of brands entering the scene and making for a congested and competitive environment.

México Car/LCV Sales : 2025

México Sales were up 1% and that sounds rather average. Then if you find out that the 2025 total was up 16% compared the average over the last ten years, it sounds a lot more positive. The sales data is excellent in both scope and detail. It speaks well of Mexico to be well organised like this. 

Nissan took the lead off Chevrolet in 2005 and has not handed it back. The gap between them suggests things won't be changing anytime soon. Between them, they take 30% of total sales which is an impressive haul. 

Chinese brands are proliferating with mixed results. MG lost 20% of it's market share and a couple of places in the ranking while Geely has arrived and already making its mark in a positive way. Changan has moved up 11 places in ranking. Chery and Omoda were both well down on 2024, the scope of which was a surprise.

Indonesia Vehicle Sales : 2025

The Indonesian market is subject to import duty to foster local manufacturing and in cases like this understandable. The data below is for all vehicles, and only for those Gaikindo reports. Some brands are missing but of lesser volumes. 

Sales for 2025 were down 6% at just under 834,000 units. Put another way, 56,000 fewer sales. 2025 is Added to that, 2025 was 13% down on the average for the last ten years. Now an upsurge in Chinese brands is putting pressure on many more established brands. 

Toyota and its sub brand Daihatsu command 47.6% of total sales, down from 51.9% in 2024. Honda retains third spot but its market share is down to 8.5% compared to a 11.6% just a year earlier. With new entrants from China arriving in numbers, it is inevitable that market share will fall for incumbent brands. 

BYD only arrived during 2024 but is already up to sixth spot. The same time frame is with Aion (picture above), while Denza (picture below) seems to have just turned up in 2025 and is already making its presence felt. Disruptive times indeed.
