Mauritius Vehicle Sales : 2024

The source of the data missed a month for passenger cars so I asked nicely if they could fix that but their reply was a stony silence. 

I did have access to total vehicle data so here it is, with trucks included. I could have tried to weed them out but in a market so small, it adds some volume.

Registrations were up 22% in December and 20% for the year so going really well. Toyota and Nissan used to scrap over the top spot but Suzuki is now well ensconced in that prime position. Value models from Suzuki India have become very popular.

Denmark Top 50 Models : 2024










With electric cars taking over in Denmark in 2024, it created some dramatic changes. Models have been rapidly increasing or seemingly popping out of nowhere. The Tesla Y was so dominant in 2023 but with all the competition arriving and increasing their sales, it hit the Y and it couldn't maintain the volume. The Tesla 3 did better but not enough to compensate. 

One car that caught me by surprise was the Ford Explorer (picture below). It's electric and something different. The Nissan Ariya (picture above) replaces the leaf and is going well.

Czechia Top 50 : 2024









 Škoda last year had just six of the top ten places. Now it has seven. They only have eight models in total and that's an electric SUV way down on 29th. More are coming though so Škoda may make a clean sweep of the top ten one day. Sadly they do computer generated cars in their photos (see above). 

Hyundai and Kia do well here and both manufacture in the region. The Kia Cee'd and the Proceed are combined in terms of numbers below in the chart as the latter is a sportier version of the C'eed. The ProCeed is shown below the chart.
