The Kia Sportage is the best-selling vehicle in Cyprus in March.

According to numbers by our local partners SEMO Cyprus and INNOSOFT, new car sales in Cyprus drop -17.9% year-on-year in March to 1,437 units. Thanks to a strong start of the year, this leads to a Q1 volume up 10.6% to 4,464. Kia (-21.2%) is the most popular carmaker in the country but falls heavily year-on-year  to 18.6% share. Volkswagen (+55.6%) and Nissan (+284.8%) completely ignore the depressed market and post fantastic year-on-year gains to close out the podium. Hyundai (+3.3%), Ford (+106.7%), MG (+866.7%) and Volvo (+16.7%) are also in positive below.

Model-wise, the Kia Sportage (+403.3%) takes the lead for the 2nd time this year and the third time in the past 7 months with a stellar 10.5% share. The Nissan Qashqai (+741.7%) stays in 2nd place but steps up to the year-to-date pole position with 7.9% share. The Hyundai Tucson (+40%) also sports fantastic growth at #3. The Nissan Juke (+126.1%) impresses at #7 with the VW T-Roc (+8.7%) and Toyota Yaris (+2.5%) in positive as well.
