The Renault Kardian is an instant blockbuster in Colombia.

The Colombian new vehicle market is up 11.1% year-on-year in August to 16,522 sales, keeping in mind August 2023 was down a ghastly -39.1% over the year prior. As a result the year-to-date volume is now off just -0.5% to 118,319. Kia (+79.4%) surges ahead to score its 2nd win over the past 3 months (and 2nd ever also) with a splendid 12.9% share. Renault (-4.7%) is also up one spot on July to #2 while Toyota (-5.8%) recedes two ranks to #3 but remains in the lead year-to-date with 14.4% share. Mazda (-9.4%) and Chevrolet (-20.3%) struggle, but the next six carmakers all beat the market with fantastic lifts. BYD (+407.8%) is the most dynamic and advances to #11, with Hyundai (+126.3%), Ford (+37.9%), Volkswagen (+37.1%), Nissan (+23.3%) and Suzuki (+21.9%) also outstanding.

Model-wise, the Mazda CX-30 (+8.9%) reclaims the top spot for the 2nd time in the past 3 months and is now just 83 sales below the Toyota Corolla Cross (+6%) in the fight for the FY2024 pole position. The new Kia K3 is up to a record 2nd place, also hit last May, and helps the brand to the top spot. The Renault Duster (+18.5%) rallies back up to #3, a ranking it also holds year-to-date. Below the Toyota Corolla Cross, the Hilux (+15.6%) advances three ranks on last month to #5 while the Kia Picanto (+1.5%) is down one to #6. Excellent performance of the Renault Kardian up five spots on its inaugural month in July to already break into the Top 10 at #8.
