Colombia August 2026: Tesla Model Y #1 for 6th straight month, Toyota Hilux and Ford Territory shine

The Ford Territory breaks into the Colombian Top 10 for the first time.

Once again the Colombian new vehicle market posts a splendid gain with August volumes up 27.4% year-on-year to 27,169. The year-to-date tally is up 42.2% to 213,704. Kia (+51.8%) almost doubles the market growth rate to remain in a solid pole position with 13.3% share. The Top 4 brands are unchanged on July with Toyota (+20.6%), Renault (+10.9%) and newcomer Tesla in tow. Chevrolet (-2.8%) is back up one spot on last month to #5 but ensures a punishing drop. Not as much as Mazda (-19.2%) in complete freefall at #6. In contrast Ford (+60.7%), Nissan (+38.2%) and Suzuki (+35.7%) all beat the market in the remainder of the Top 10. Below, MG (+245.5%), Changan-Deepal (+127.2%) and Chery (+120.1%) stand out.

Over in the models charts, the Tesla Model Y scores a 6th straight win, it has never ranked below #1 in Colombia. The Kia K3 (+21.4%) is up two spots on July to #2, while the Toyota Corolla Cross (-16%) is up three to #3 despite a harsh year-on-year fall. The Mazda CX-30 (-8.7%) is also in difficulty at #4 while the Renault Duster Nacional (+10.3%) completes the Top 5 with a lukewarm result. The Toyota Hilux (+116.2%) impresses at #6, up 8 ranks on last month. The new Ford Territory breaks into the Top 10 for the first time at #7 (previous best #15 last February). Additional great performers include the Kia Sportage (+75%), Nissan Qashqai (#11), Hyundai Kona (+72.6%) and Toyota Fortuner (+66.3%). The new Chevrolet Sonic breaks into the Top 20 at #19.
