Italy April 2026: Leapmotor T03 repeats at #3, MG ZS up to record #5

Once again the ridiculously cheap Leapmotor T03 ranks #3 in Italy.

Outstanding month for new car sales in Italy at +11.6% year-on-year in April to 155,210 units, leading to a year-to-date volume up 9.8% to 640,083. Strikingly, private sales are up 19.3% to 78,583 and 50.3% share vs. 47% a year ago (+10.2% to 52.5% share YTD), the sign of a healthier market. Self registrations are up 14.7% to 16,105 and 10.3% share vs. 10% in April 2025 (+18.5% to 9.5% share YTD), Long term leases are down -7.2% to 33,112 and 21.2% share vs. 25.5% (down -4% to 21.1% share YTD), short term rentals soar 22.9% to 20,469 and 13.1% share vs. 11.9% (up 42% to 11.8% share YTD) and company sales edge up 4% to 8,079 and 5.2% share vs. 5.6% (up 1.5% to 5.1% share YTD).

HEV sales are up 24% to 76,808 and 49.1% share vs. 44.2% a year ago, including 25,851 full hybrids (+45.1%) and 50,957 mild hybrids (+15.5%), PHEVs surge 75.3% to 14,184 and 9.1% share vs. 5.7% in April 2025 and BEVs double their sales year-on-year (+98.6%) to 8.5% share vs. 4.8%. This means rechargeable vehicles are up 85.8% to 27,422 and 17.6% share vs. 10.5% a year ago.

In the brands ranking, Fiat (+31%) continues to catch up on poor year-ago results but can only muster a 10.3% share, by far its lowest this year. It holds 12.1% of its home market year-to-date. Toyota (+7.3%) returns to the 2nd spot it holds year-to-date ahead of Volkswagen (+1%). Peugeot (-7.5%) is up three ranks on last month to #4 and despite a YoY loss. Dacia (-2.3%) stabilises its sales at #5 but is still down -22% YTD. Audi (+15.5%) performs very well in the remainder of the Top 10 but drops to #8. Mercedes (+32%) is also strong at #12 while BYD (+171.7%) is up to #14, Leapmotor (+1300.6%) stays at #16 and Omoda+Jaecoo (+310.8%) breaks all its records at #18 with 3,857 sales and 2.5% share.

As for models, the Fiat Panda (-3%) falls further to 5.5% share, its lowest since last November, compared with 7.1% YTD. The Jeep Avenger (-19%) confirms it is now a solid 2nd best-seller despite a harsh YoY fall. Once again the event of the month is the third place of the €4,900 Leapmotor T03 (+1725.9%), β€œcheaper than a bike” says the advertising campaign, and having accumulated almost 15,000 sales since the start of the year (#4). Below the Dacia Sandero (+5.3%), the MG ZS (+38.7%) rallies back up nine spots on March to land at #5, simply the model’s highest ever monthly ranking in Italy. The Fiat Grande Panda (+3093.1%) falls again month-on-month to #6, could it have peaked already?

Argentina April 2026: Market off -14.6%, BYD breaks records

First Top 20 finish for the BYD Atto 2.

The Argentinean new light vehicle market hits the brakes in April: it falls -14.6% year-on-year to 44,344 units. The year-to-date tally is now down -6.2% to 193,445. Strikingly, the Top 8 brands are all in negative. Toyota (-31.4%) implodes but repeats at #1 with 15.1% share vs. 13.4% so far this year. It is however Volkswagen (-38%) that stays #1 year-to-date with 14.1% of the market. Fiat (-19.8%) remains at #3, Ford (-11.8%) is up two spots on March to #4 and Chevrolet (-7.9%) down one to #5. Newcomer BYD is up one rank to #9 which is a new ranking record for the brand, also hitting best ever volumes (1,701) and share (3.8%). YoY gains appear outside the Top 10, notably Chery (+928.1%), Haval (+518.9%), Kia (+192%), BAIC (+169.7%) and BMW (+146.1%).

Model-wise, the Toyota Hilux (-31.4%) returns to the top spot it holds year-to-date with 5.3% share, well above the Peugeot 208 (-34.3%), leader last month. The Ford Territory (+35.6%) impresses with a large YoY lift and ascends to the podium for the first time in the nameplate’s history. The Ford Ranger (-32.9%) stays at #4 while the Fiat Cronos (-42%) rounds out the Top 5 in paltry fashion. The VW Tera remains the best-selling recent launch at #6, distancing the Toyota Yaris Cross (#10), for the first time in the Top 10, and the BYD Atto 2 (#18) delivering its maiden Top 20 finish.

Previous month: Argentina March 2026: Toyota and Peugeot 208 in the lead in strongest market in 8 years

One year ago: Argentina April 2025: Renault (+114.2%), Volkswagen (+111.2%) stand out in best market in 7 years

New Caledonia (France) Q1 2026: Suzuki and Dacia Duster dominate

Suzuki holds 10.6% of the New Caledonian new car market over Q1.

Isuzu (+388.9%), BYD (+311.1%) and Fiat (+310%) post surreal gains below.

Model-wise, the Dacia Duster (+133.3%) dominates the charts with 6.6% share, distancing the Hyundai Tucson (+175%) and Suzuki Swift (+193.8%). The Isuzu D-Max (+485.7%) and Fiat Panda (+3500%) round out the Top 5. Notice also the BAIC X35 at #11, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross at #12 and the BYD Shark 6 at #23.Β

Our local partner CE Auto has the North Macedonian new car market up 8.2% year-on-year in March to 582 sales. Keep in mind though that March 2025 was off -27.4% on the year prior.

It is followed by the Skoda Scala up from outside the February Top 10 directly to #2 and the Skoda Octavia staying at #3. The Skoda Kamiq (+15%) ranks #4 again but is down to #5 YTD vs. #1 over the Full Year 2025. The Toyota Yaris makes a rare Top 10 appearance at #6 while we have two newcomers in this same Top 10, both equal #9: The Chinese LCV Fest E-Box M and the Fiat Grande Panda.
