Sales of passenger cars and SUVs chain their seventh month of growth with an increase of 10.7% in July and a total of 81,205 units sold, thanks to the normalization of supplies and production, and the boost in orders from companies . Even so, it has not been possible to exceed the level of 100,000 vehicles, which is usual in a month when the holidays begin and, therefore, with greater demand from individuals.
The organizations of the sector consider that the uncertainty caused by the electoral period could have been a condition for not reaching the level of 100,000. In the accumulated of the first seven months, 866,626 units are reached, 22% more than the previous year, although still lower than that of 2019, according to data provided by Anfac (manufacturers), Faconauto (dealers) and Ganvam (sellers). .
Sales aimed at companies totaled 35,132 registrations in July, 13.2% more. On the other hand, the rent-a-car is slightly reduced by 0.5%, accumulating 10,962 units. For their part, sales to individuals reached 35,111 sales, which represents an increase of 12.1% compared to the same month of the previous year, but 39% less than in 2019. In short, families have bought 23,000 cars this July less than in July 2019.
Toyota has established itself as the market leader both in July and throughout the semester. They are followed by Kia, Volkswagen and Seat. By models, on the other hand, the leader so far this year is the cheap Dacia Sandero, followed by the Seat Arona and the Peugeot 2008.
