Argentina February 2026: Chinese up 7-fold, Ford (+55.9%) pushes Territory to #4

17 March 2026 at 02:13

BAIC sales are up 410.6% year-on-year in February.

The Argentinean new light vehicle market drops -6% year-on-year in February to 39,498 units. This means the year-to-date tally is now off -5.2% to 102,615. Volkswagen (-21.5%) is in drab shape but repeats at #2 with 14.9% share, while Fiat (-17.7%) is #2 at 13% of the market. Leader over the Full Year 2025, Toyota (-26.9%) implodes to #3. In fact the entire Top 8 is unchanged on last month, with Ford (+55.9%) and Chevrolet (+10.1%) the only carmakers in positive just as Citroen (-29.8%), Renault (-28.9%) and Peugeot (-24.7%) struggle.

As it is the case in more and more countries around the world, Chinese carmakers are the most dynamic here. Newcomers BYD (#11) and MG (#21) progress, while BAIC is up 410.6%, Chery up 632.7%, Haval up 407%, Jetour up 922%, Changan up 5550%, Foton up 203.2%, JAC up 123.1% and DFSK up 72%… All in all, the Chinese are up a whopping 635.6% year-on-year and go from 1% share in February 2025 to 7.5% now.

Over in the models charts, the Toyota Hilux (-10.9%) remains dominant at 5.6% share ahead of two freefalling nameplates: the Fiat Cronos (-32.8%) and Peugeot 208 (-34.1%). Boosted by a new generation, the Ford Territory (+222.9%) threepeats at a record 4th place. The Ford Ranger (-21.2%) rounds out the Top 5 like it did last month. Once again the best-selling recent launch, the VW Tera repeats at #6 and remains the brand’s best-seller in Argentina. The VW Amarok (-45.6%) completes a Top 7 identical to last month.

The VinFast VF 3 is the best-selling vehicle in Vietnam in February.

New light vehicle sales in Vietnam drop -13.1% year-on-year in February to 32,261due to the Lunar New Year negatively impacting the number of opening days. However thanks to a fantastic January figure the year-to-date tally is up 35.3% to 91,180. Local hero VinFast falls significantly faster than its home market but at 30.7% share it beats its January share (27.4%) to account for 28.6% after two months. Toyota (+24.9%) defies the negative market and climbs back up four spots on January to return to its traditional 2nd place. Thaco-Kia (-21.1%) struggles but repeats at #3 ahead of Hyundai (+1.9%) and Ford (-10.3%).

Over in the models charts, the VinFast (-56.3%) is back to the #1 spot it held over the Full Year 2025 despite collapsing year-on-year. #1 last month and YTD, the VinFast Limo Green holds 5.6% share. In fact VinFast monopolises the Top 5 for the first time with the VF 5 (-46%) at #3, the new MPV 7 at #4 and the VF 6 (-47.9%) at #5. The Mazda CX-5 (+9.2%) is the best of the rest above the Toyota Hilux (+386.6%) and Ford Ranger (-27.2%). Notice also the VinFast VF 7 (+41.6%) up 8 ranks on January to #9, the Hyundai Creta up 112.9% and the Toyota Yaris Cross up 122.3%.
