Mexico Passenger Car Sales: 2026 (Jan-Aug)

Registrations were up 2% in August and 5% YTD. Nissan maintained its long standing leadership here with 17% of the total market. Chevrolet likewise is a popular brand with 12.0% share. 

In 2026, imported Chinese cars had tariffs increased from 20% to 50%. China called the move protectionist and seeing as they have various duties to limit imports, they should know.  

Some importers are not reporting. BYD, GAC and Tesla haven't been, although none of those are stellar performers in Mexico anyway. Chirey (Chery), Jaecoo and Omoda pulled out after reporting last year. 

Chirey's has had a sales slump as it sorts out spare parts availability, delays in repairs, and problems with customer service quality. To limit negative press, they are holding back data until those issues are sorted.
