The Hyundai Accent sees its sales leap up 82.9% in 2022.

123,603 new light vehicles found a buyer in Puerto Rico in 2022, a -4.3% year-on-year drop. Note Puerto Rican sales are released separately from the US. Toyota (+17.9%) goes completely against the negative market to deliver the largest gain in the Top 10 and rise to a suffocating 29.2% market share vs. 23.7% over the Full Year 2021. Hyundai (-3.5%) remains in the 2nd spot with 15.9% share while both Ford (+8.7%) and Mitsubishi (-2%) leap up two spots on last year to #3 and #4 respectively. In contrast Kia (-22.4%) and Nissan (-35.9%) implode below. BMW (+7%) is the only additional gainer in the Top 10.

Model-wise, the Toyota Corolla (+23.7%) repeats at #1 with a stellar 8.7% share, two percentage points above its 2021 level. The Toyota RAV4 (+0.9%) stays at #2 while the Hyundai Accent (+82.9%) climbs four ranks on 2021 to #3, dislodging the Toyota Tacoma (-5.1%) from the podium. It’s an excellent showing for the Kia Seltos (+12.4%) up six spots on last year to #5. Below a hard-hit Hyundai Venue (-20.3%), the Toyota Corolla Cross (+1053.8%) ends its first full year in market at a splendid 7th place. The Ford F-Series (-6.1%) and Mitsubishi Outlander (-3.9%) resist somewhat unlike the Hyundai Tucson (-45.1%).
