As has been the case for most of the year, the Chevrolet Joy, Kia Picanto and Mazda CX-30 were the best-selling cars in Colombia last month.
May ended as the best month for the national automotive sector so far in 2022. In total, they were 22,435 cars registered at the national level during the month that just ended, which means a 8.75% increase compared to the result achieved in April. Without a doubt, a very encouraging result in the midst of the crisis for shortage of vehicles in showcases.
In the midst of that euphoria, in which a large number of brands and models increased their records (clear indicator of the arrival of units for delivery), three references stood out for their commercial results: Chevrolet Joy, Kia Picanto y Mazda CX-30.
Thus, in that order, these vehicles managed to make up the podium of the best-selling cars during the month of May, as has happened for much of the year with them. Especially with the Kia Picanto, which to date ranks as the best-selling car in the accumulated of 2022. Let’s see how the “Top 20” turned out.

The three models already mentioned are followed in the list five Renault models and one Suzuki. The French placed in continuous positions the Kwid (what already presents its renewal in the country), Stepway, Sandero y Dusterleaving the Logan under the Suzuki Vitara. By the way, the sedan of the diamond brand surpassed the Chevrolet Tracker by just one unit.
That stands out Toyota’s good behavior, which was consolidated as the third brand in the national market. Its best-selling model is the Corolla Crosswhich is mostly sold as a hybrid, followed by the indefatigable Prado. But this time, he managed to add three more models to the best sellers: Yaris, 4Runner y Hilux. The first two are unprecedented on this list.
Another novelty is the arrival of the Hyundai HB20S Accent to the “Top 20” best-selling cars in Colombia.
