This is a country where political turmoil is never far from the surface. Nearly 22,000 sales in 2019 have slumped to barely 7,000 in 2022. For 2022, the drop was 25%. Suzuki had to pause production during the year due to currency exchange issues. The volatility is more than just customer preference driven.
Suzuki took the top spot in 2017 and has since made it their own. Chinese brand Jetour (pictured above) turns up and in no time is second. Toyota held off starting production at a new plant until late 2022 after a military coup in early 2021 just as they were about to commence assembly.
