Indonesia Vehicle Sales : 2026 (Jan-Mar)











Registrations in Indonesia were down 13% in March and up half a percent YTD. Toyota and subsidiary Daihatsu are not far off commanding half of the market. Chinese brands have arrived in a feeding frenzy but seem to be unable to have much impact on the better selling Japanese brands. At present, they seem to be canabalising sales off each other. 

It never ceases to amaze me how in Asia, car pictures on company websites are so bland or downright cheesy. Do people actually like them? We have here the Toyota Innova (above) and Daihatsu Sirion (below).

Renault/Dacia Global Model Sales: 2025










Renault used to separate Renault and Dacia sales. Then they moved to having all the models combined, regardless of whether they were sold as Renault or a Dacia. Because some Dacia models are sold under the Renault brand, it became impossible to separate them.

Below are the combined sales by model. The Sandero passed the Clio in 2021 and was the largest selling model four years in a row until 2025 when the Clio took back the #1 ranking. Light commercial vehicles are also included.

Chile Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Mar)










Registrations were up 19% in March and 9% YTD. Suzuki's 10.8% market share is the best since 2008. It was also enough to secure the top spot. Hyundai and Kia are about tied, with only three sales separating them. Toyota is next, just 14 behind Kia, so it is really tight among those three.
