Dongfeng sales are up 4-fold in Uruguay in February.

The Uruguayan new light vehicle market edges up 2.4% year-on-year in February to 5,754 units. This is the biggest February volume in at least 11 years. The year-to-date volume is now up 13.8% to 11,119. This month Fiat (-33.2%) reclaims the brands top spot off BYD (+10.2%) despite completely freefalling YoY. Fiat is now also #1 year-to-date for just 9 sales. Suzuki (+4.1%) is up two spots on January to #3, distancing four declining brands. Volkswagen (-2.4%) fares the best but Renault (-33.6%), Chevrolet (-32.6%) and Hyundai (-29.4%) are all hit hard. Now given the number of collapsing brands near the top of the ranking you may ask how the market manages a YoY gain. This is entirely due to Chinese manufacturers. Among the 30 selling at least one unit this month, no less than 18 grow by at least 50%. Overall, the Chinese account for 42.5% of the Uruguayan February volume vs. 23.1% a year ago in February 2025 thanks to sales up 88.9% year-on-year.
