Perú Car/LCV Sales : 2026 (Jan-Apr)

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 37% YTD so going very strongly. Toyota is up 20% but has lost 13% of its  market share from a full 2025. Still eight months to address that. The Big T took the lead off Hyundai in 2018 and is now well ensconced at the top.

Chinese brand Jetour is now in the top five, with share up 46% and sales up 130%. Gelly, JAC and Chery make four Chinese brands in the top ten. DFSK dropped out of it with unit volume down 8%.

Croatia Passenger Car Sales: 2026 (Jan-Apr)

Registrations were down 6% in April but up 5% YTD. Škoda is in its fourth year at the top, having dethroned VW. Renault was at the top in 2003 and while it's along way form regaining that position, at least it's having success in 2026. 

So too are Chinese brands, somewhat late to the party but starting to arrive in numbers. With poor sales at home, targeting exports is a way to keep factories gainfully employed.

Argentina Car/LCV Sales: 2026 (Jan-Apr)

Registrations were down 5% in April and down 6% YTD. The top two swapped places, VW reclaiming the top ranking it lost to Toyota in 2021. They both have taken a hit in their market share as has Renault and Jeep. 

Import duty on fully built up vehicle has given local manufacturers protection. It's complicated. Vehicles imported from MERCOSUR  nations (Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Bolivia) are tariff free. Mexico (quota-based) and Ecuador have reduced or zero tariffs on light vehicles. 

Up to 50,000 units of electric and hybrid vehicles can be imported tariff free annually. This especially benefits vehicles from China but how the 50k limit is applied if reached I'm unsure. It could explain why the top brands have reduced market share.
