Liechtenstein Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Aug)







Registrations were up 14% YTD and 23% in August. That's a sold gain on 2025. In 2025 they were down 11% for the full year, so more a case of back to normal. The release of data is not quick but at least we get some. Annual sales by model were once on the menu, but not anymore. 

Volkswagen was the long standing number one brand here but since 2020, it has been contested by others. BMW has led twice and Mercedes-Benz once. However, in 2026 VW has established a healthy lead. In a small market, volumes are more changeable than alpine weather but for now they lead comfortably.

Perú Car/LCV Sales : 2026 (Jan-Aug)

The list below covers the top 25 brands and premium ones. An unusual way to present data, but that is how it comes from AAP. 

Vehicle registrations are up an impressive 40% YTD, so things are going along very strongly. Toyota sales are up 22%, yet it has lost 11% of its market share compared to a complete 2025. The Big T took the lead from Hyundai in 2018 and is now well ensconced at the top.

Chinese brand Jetour is now in the top five, with its share up 73% and sales up 152%. Geely, JAC and Chery make five Chinese brands in the top ten. DFSK dropped out of it with market share halved.

Panamá Car/LCV Sales: 2026 (Jan-Aug)










Panamá has many brands, a trend that is happening in many countries. The arrival of so many Chinese makes is the reason. Toyota is still the choice for over one in six buyers, Hyundai and Kia above one in ten. Yet there are some loss of sales, spread fairly evenly across all the legacy brands. 

The 212 is a rugged off road jeep style vehicle made by BAW. As the picture shows, it's ideal in jungle and that covers a large part of the country. Rox is another Chinese brand, which makes premium electric SUV's. As seen below, not so much for conquering the jungle as glamping.
