The announcement of tax decline for cars is concentrating attention on the Automotive marketbut January is about to end important data.
Three days after closing the month, cars patents They show a 102% growth Regarding January last year, according to the records computed until Tuesday. So far, more than 54,000 0km were recorded and about 3,000 units per day are being thrown out, so a 65,000 or a little more market is projected.
The first days of each time they usually receive operations that were pending the previous month, but what showed the progress of January is that the positive trend remained until last week
This important growth against January 2024 is also explained because it compares with what happened twelve months ago, The market was beaten by the devaluation recorded in December 2023. A year ago 33,917 0km were patented.
That is why in the sector they estimate that the month will close with twice the patents that a year ago. One of the factors that drive the current demand has to do with the growth of credit sale.
In this way, this month is going to be the best January in seven years in sales. You have to go back to 2018 to find a higher January.
In January there is a very closed fight between the brands. For a long time, Toyota It is the leading brand in internal sales, as was Volkswagen years ago until the Japanese displaced it to second place.
However, this beginning of 2025 shows a change since Volkswagen Heads patents with 9,487 units, while the Japanese adds 9,110
Consulted some sources in the sector, there are indications that explain why Volkswagen could end at the top at this beginning of 2025.
On the German side some factors stand out. The most important is the financing plan launched by automaker in December with 0%rate.
It was so attractive that the Dealers network collapsed for the strong demand. Thousands of operations were made and the overflow was such that after three days they had to unsubscribe.
These additional operations are promoting the volume of patents of the month. To this is added the aggressive policy in prices that the brand is having with respect to the Amarok model and its availability of units.
The fact that the German pickup is above the Toyota Hilux so far in January is not less. This is something that did not happen since 2021 when, for a specific event, he beat the Japanese.
Given this situation, last week Toyota launched 12 months financing with 0% rate for its Hilux model for an amount of up to $ 20 million.
Three days after the closure, Amarok exceeds Hilux for about 60 units. The difference was greater a week ago, but Toyota’s financing plan seems to have cut positions.
The ranking of models, until yesterday, is headed by Peugeot 208are followed by Fiat Cronos, Volkswagen Amarok, Toyota Hilux, Ford Ranger, Corolla Cross, VW Polo, Toyota Yaris, Peugeot 2008 and Chevrolet Tracker.
It is emphasized that the first five models of this ranking are vehicles produced in the country.
