Hong Kong P Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Apr)

Registrations were up 218% in April and +143% in the first four months of the year. That is based on a poor start to 2025 (down 44%), so it accentuates the positive in a way that could be a little exaggerated. The 2025 share below is for a full year. The sort of increase in 2026 makes the share +/- column look worse than it is. 

Toyota was the best selling brand here for some time, with 2019 being the last year it was ranked #1. With electric cars now being so popular and Chinese brands aggressively active in this, a special administrative region of China, a comeback seems unlikely.  

Looking at the top brands in more detail.

Tesla: Y (2,460) and 3 (1,972) are the two models sold here. 
BYD: Atto 2 (1,911) and Sealion 7 (1,451) make up 90% of the total. 
GAC Aion: UT (1,169), ES (885) and Y (586) lead the way.
Zeekr: 7X (1,882) and 009 (553) account for 98% of sales. 
Toyota: bZ3X (1,342) does 80% of the registrations on its own.

Aston Martin Global Deliveries : 2025-26 (Q1)

Deliveries were down just 1% in Q1. THat's a good result in the present climate. Last year they fell 10% but things are improving. I believe reducing inventory was ther reason last year for the fall with production more in line with orders received.

Gross margins are improved and with the industry experincing so many headwind issues, no mean feat.

Regions: The Americas is where most cars are delivered. 38% of the total went there in Q1, for an 11% uncrease. Europe, Middle East and Africa combine to account for 28%. The Asia and Pacific region now make up 20%. The UK registered just 14%, which as a percentage is probably the lowest ever. That isn't an issue to rely less on the home market. 

Models: The GT and sports car range make up 70% of the total. The DBX SUV 19% and Specials 11%. All but one of those latter deliveries are for the Valhalla. Current orders for this car stretch into Q4 of this year.

Honda Global Production : 2025-26 (Q1)

Production number being down just 3% is a win, all things considered. The fact that January was up 2%, February down 5% and March down 7% could seem less of a win. It depends where the trend goes from here. Asia (excluding Japan) is the main area production is down,
