Colombia September 2025: Sales up 45.2%, Kia (+77.1%) places Picanto and K3 on top

23 October 2025 at 08:48

The Kia Picanto is the best-selling vehicle in Colombia in September.

The Colombian new vehicle market surges 45.2% year-on-year in September to 24,894 units, making it the best month of the year so far. However, remember September 2024 was off -34.7% on the year prior. Through September, sales are up a stunning 29.3% to 175,157. Kia (+77.1%) reclaims control of the brands charts with 14.4% share, its highest since last February. Renault (+39.6%) almost matches the market and stays in 2nd place ahead of a strong Chevrolet (+62.8%). Mazda (+15.2%) is significantly more muted whereas Toyota (-27.2%), #1 last month, dives to #5. BYD (+225.8%) delivers the biggest YoY gain in the Top 20 and passes the 1,000 monthly sales milestone for the first time but is down one spot on August to #9. Hyundai (+79.6%) and Suzuki (+66%) also impress.

In the models ranking, Kia monopolises the Top 2 with the Picanto (+131.3%) at #1 and the K3 (+54.5%) at #2. The Mazda CX-30 (+5.6%) is down one spot to #3, distancing the Chevrolet Onix (+108.8%) and Renault Duster Nacional (+48.2%). The Kia Sportage (+240.4%) spectacularly storms into the Top 10 at #6, up 8 ranks on last month. #1 last month and year-to-date, the Toyota Corolla Cross (-35%) would rather forget about this month. The best-selling newcomer is once again the BYD Yuan Up albeit down 3 spots to #11.

Chery sales are up 134.2% year-on-year in September.

New vehicle sales in Ecuador soar 39.5% year-on-year in September to 11,299 units, however September 2024 was off -23.3% on the year prior. Year-to-date volumes are up 6.4% to 88,605. Kia (+15.7%) confirms it is the new dominant force in the market but falls to 14% share vs. 16.1% year-to-date. Chevrolet (-8.8%) is in complete freefall given the market dynamics and endures one of only two YoY losses in the Top 20.

Chery (+134.2%), GWM (+87.4%), Hyundai (+79.8%) and Renault (+67.7%) in contrast all post fantastic gains. DFSK (+58.5%), Suzuki (+56.7%) and JAC (+53.7%) also outrun the market in the remainder of the Top 10. Just below, BYD (+666.7%) shoots up to #11 vs. #15 so far this year. Foton (+146.4%) and Jetour (+105.7%) also impress.

Model-wise, the Kia Soluto easily holds onto the top spot while the Chevrolet D-Max is back to the 2nd position it holds year-to-date, passing the Chevrolet Groove. The GWM Poer overtakes the Kia Sonet to #4 while the Kia Seltos and Hyundai Tucson camp on their August ranking. Illustrating the brand’s success this month, the Chery Arrizo climbs to #9.
