According to the information shared by FADA, BMW has achieved the top position in terms of sales numbers. The brand has managed to sell more than 1,339 units in January 2024, breaking its record for the same month last year. The brand managed to sell only 932 units in January 2023.
Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar Land Rover
In between, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar Land Rover also contributed to the sector with impressive numbers. Both companies performed well last month, posting sales numbers of 1,330 and 270 units respectively. When it comes to last year’s performance, Jaguar Land Rover managed only 221 units in January.
Audi Performance
Regarding Audi’s performance, the FADA report shows lower numbers this time compared to last year. Major automakers struggled this year as they sold just 67 units (CBU), down from 184 units in the same period last year.
However, the German automaker dominated the gasoline and EV market last year, with strong demand, registering total sales of 7,931 units.
