Chile Top 30 PC/LCV Models : 2025

In Argentina they mainly buy European brands, across the Andes in Chile they are partial to Asian ones. 

Toyota is the largest brand when light commercials are included. Otherwise, it's Suzuki at the top.

Korean brands do well here and Chinese ones are well established. The US is also reasonably well represented. 

Pick up trucks are the leading three models and SUVs are also sought after.

Chinese brands major on value and features which obviously strikes a chord with many, especially here. 

Durability is a question to be asked, but long warranties alay such fears.

Lucid Deliveries/Production : 2023-25

Below are Lucid delivery and production figures for the past three years. For figures going back to the beginning, an article on that can be seen by clicking here.

Deliveries were up 55% a nice increase. Production was also up, but this side of the data is less clear. Over 1,000 kits have been sent to Saudi Arabia for assembly there, but how they impact on the figures is unclear. 

While the numbers are modest, the direction is upward, so things are progressing. Getting more vehicles into markets outside of the US would surely now be a priority to continue the growth.

Xpeng Deliveries/Production : 2023-25

2023 started slowly, with sales down on 2022 but the G6 medium large crossover and the X9 large MPV (photo above) arrived mid year. 

By the end of the year, deliveries were up 17%. The new models helped achieve a 171% increase for Q4, ensuring the 12 months ended positively.

For 2024 deliveries were up 34% with a very healthy Q4 to thank for that. The P5 medium saloon car ended its run and was replaced by the Mona M03. 

Then the 2024 P7+ large saloon was introduced but didn't replace the existing P7. The Plus is less expensive but slightly larger than the P7 and will sell along side each other. 

The G9 medium large crossover has recently been refreshed which is a Tesla Y competitor (see image below). 

Deliveries for 2025 passed the 2024 total by 126%. That sounds good but Q4 was only up 27% and December was ahead by just 2%. Is this a sign that the growth is slowing?

It's hard to say but 2026 offers promise. There is the G01 large SUV and the G02 larger still SUV. The Mona subbrand will release the D02 medium SUV and D03 compact SUV. I don't know why the smaller model will have the larger number. Regardless, there is enough new metal to push sales along.
