Israel Car/LCV Sales : 2024 (Jan-Sep)

With registrations down 6% YTD, things are holding up well despite the troubles in the region. Hyundai became the best selling brand in 2011, supplanting long time favourite Mazda. Since then Hyundai has held that spot bar one year when Kia took it. Moving on to 2024 and Toyota is leading and it looks like it will be leading come December 31st. 

Hyundai and Kia have lost some share of the pie, but Škoda and BYD have closed the sizable gap above them to a reasonable degree. MG is moving up nicely as are SEAT and Nissan. New entrants are arriving, making the number of brands vying for sales almost bewildering.   

The best selling models are the BYD Atto with 9,796 units, Hyundai Elantra (7,470), Škoda Octavia (6,727),  Toyota RAV4 (5,317) Kia Niro (5,131) Chery FX (5,067) and Toyota Yaris Cross (5,055).
