Model-wise, the Ford Ranger (-1.9%) easily keeps the lead of the charts with 8.3% share, distancing the Toyota Hilux (+47.7%) rallying back up to 6.9% share vs. 6.1% year-to-date. Unlike in neighbouring Australia, the Toyota RAV4 (-30%) is in great difficulty this month. The Kia Seltos (+43.9%) repeats at #4 ahead of the Mitsubishi ASX and Triton (+82.4%). The Suzuki Swift (+20.1%) and Toyota Yaris Cross (+18%) also impress in the remainder of the Top 10.
