AutoExec Summary
In October 2019, new car sales continued to decline for the 19th consecutive month, with a significant drop of 8 per cent overall. The Toyota RAV4 emerged as the top-selling SUV, aided by strong hybrid sales, while Kia performed well due to the new Cerato GT hatch. Conversely, the new Mazda3 struggled to capture buyer interest, and Ford’s Mustang GT saw its worst sales since 2015 despite motorsport success. The FCAI highlighted regulatory issues affecting financing as a contributing factor to the downturn.
