Cyprus March 2026: Nissan Juke and Qashqai dominate in market off -24.2%
The Nissan Juke is the best-selling vehicle in Cyprus in March.
According to numbers by our local partners SEMO Cyprus and INNOSOFT, we have another difficult month for new car sales in Cyprus. March is off by a harsh -24.2% year-on-yearΒ to 1,214 units. This means the Q1 volume is down -18.8% to just 3,614. This month Nissan (+15.7%) ignores the surrounding gloom to climb to 21.8% share which should be a new record for the carmaker and up from 6.9% in January. In contrast, the new four brands all crash and lose more than half their year-ago volume: Kia is down -50.8%, Toyota down -51.4%, Volkswagen down -56% and Hyundai down -54%. Newcomer BYD repeats at #6 but sees its share thaw to 5.1%, its lowest since last November. MG (+200%), Land Rover (+122.2%) and Peugeot (+121.1%) also make themselves noticed below.
Model-wise, as expected given the manufacturerβs performance, itβs a Nissan festival with the Juke (+56.5%) in pole position with 11% share and the Qashqai (+18.9%) at 8.8%. The Qashqai snaps the #1 YTD spot in the process. Far below we have the Kia Stonic (-64.7%) cratering on its winning year-ago performance, and the Kia Sportage (-26.3%) which was still #1 after two months this year. The Jeep Avenger (+5.4%) is solid in 5th position while the Kia EV3 is estimated to rank #7. The BYD Seal U brilliantly breaks into the Top 10 for the first time at #8 while the Dolphin Surf repeats at #20.
