The New Caledonian new car market is on the mend in November with sales rallying back up 59.1% year-on-year to 409. The year-to-date tally however remains in stark negative at -11.7% to 3,345 units. Toyota (-36.5%) is in complete freefall but still dominates the brands charts head and shoulders with 15.2% share. Suzuki (+7%) goes against the negative trend to climb to 2nd place ahead of Renault (-0.6%). Hyundai (+15.6%) and Ford (+5.5%) round out the Top 5 in strong fashion. At the bottom of the Top 10, Mitsubishi (+44%) and Subaru (+26.3%) impress. Further down, notice BYD (+53.2%) up to #12, Fiat (+107.7%) at #15 and BAIC (+74.1%) up to #17.

The Toyota Hilux (-42.4%) is the most popular vehicle on the archipelago but collapses year-on-year. It is followed by the Suzuki Swift (+19.9%) lodging an excellent score to #2. The Dacia Duster (-22.4%) suffers at #3 above a surging Ford Ranger (+15.2%). The Hyundai Grand i10 (+40%), Renault Kangoo (+27.4%) and Hyundai Tucson (+13.1%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10.
