18 March 2026 at 02:05

Nissan Qashqai sales are up 57.5% year-on-year in February.

It’s another weak result for new car sales in Cyprus, based on data by our local partners SEMO Cyprus and INNOSOFT, with February volumes down -13.8% year-on-year to 1,107. Keep in mind February 2025 was already off -14.5% on the year prior. Year-to-date totals are down -15.8% to 2,849. Kia (-48.4%) remains the most popular carmaker in the country but almost halves its volume year-on-year. Nissan (+6.1%) climbs up four spots on last month to #2 and 9.5% share, distancing Toyota (+7%), BMW (+5.1%) and Volkswagen (+28.1%). Newcomer BYD is up one spot on January to a record #6 also reached last October and December, but its share falls month-on-month to 6.1%. Citroen (+533.3%), Honda (+216.7%) and Dacia (+144.4%) post surreal gains below.

Β In teh models charts, the Kia Sportage (-31.8%) repeats at #1 despite a harsh year-on-year fall. It distances a surging Nissan Qashqai (+57.5%) up four ranks on last month to #2. The next three models fall by double-digits, with the Kia Stonic (-50%) hit the hardest followed by the Hyundai Tucson (-14.6%) and Jeep Avenger (-14.6%). However the Tucson is up 21 spots on January to #4 and the Avenger up five to #4. Norse also the Dacia Duster up 20 ranks to #8, the VW Taigo up 127.3% to #10 an the Volvo XC40 up 41.2% to #11.

Vietnam February 2026: VinFast monopolises Top 5 for the first time

16 March 2026 at 02:00

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%.
