Taiwan's vehicle market has performed strongly this year, particularly in view of the sharp declines seen elsewhere in Asia due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales in the first 11 months of the year increased by 4.6% to 411,930 units from 393,912 units in the same period of last year, putting the market on target for a record year in 2020.
Sales of imported vehicles rose by 4.4% to 196,129 units, while domestic sales increased by 4.7% to 215,801 units – with local output lifted by the recent launch of the Corolla Cross.
Toyota reported a 5.2% sales rise to 113,336 vehicles year to date, helped by strong demand for the Corolla, RAV4 and the Corolla Cross model, while Yulon Nissan sales fell by 3.2% to 30,973 units, Mercedes-Benz 27,477 (+3.6%), Honda 26,848 (-6.7%), Ford 25,089 (+34.6%) and Mitsubishi 22,591 (+2.1%).
