New car registrations in Argentina closed the month of July 2021 positively. 20,316 units have been counted, which represents a small but important growth of 2.1%. The affordable Volkswagen Gol Trend has been one of the most prominent models.
The Argentine automobile market recovers the path of growth. In the month of July 2021 the car sales in Argentina
reached the 20,316 units. This volume of registrations, compared to that obtained in the same period of the previous year, represents a slight growth of 2.1%. A very important rise if we take into account the setbacks experienced in recent months.
When it comes to accumulated data, the situation is even better. And it is that, in the period between the months of January and July, new car registrations in Argentina totaled 158,071 units, 24.8% more compared to 2020. Now, we must take into account the fact that during a good part of the first seven months of the previous year, commercial activity in Argentine dealerships was greatly affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
FIAT Cronos, the best-selling car in Argentina in July 2021
What have been the best-selling models? The truth is that if we take a look at the ranking of the best-selling cars in Argentina during July we will get more than one surprise. First up is the FIAT Cronos that, once again, is done with the victory. It is the great pillar on which much of the FIAT range in this market is based. The second place went to the Toyota Hilux
and, closing the podium, in third place, we have the Volkswagen Gol Trend, one of the best performing models.
At the gates of the podium, by very few units, the Ford Ranger has remained. If we put the pick-up type vehicles aside, the podium would have been made up of the aforementioned FIAT Cronos, Volkswagen Gol Trend, and the Peugeot 208. The French utility vehicle is produced in Argentine territory, which highlights the role that plays for Peugeot.
Regarding the list of most popular car brands, there is news. Although Toyota repeats at the top and boasts a clear victory, FIAT has been able to sneak into second position and displace Volkswagen to third place.
