Toyota has emerged as the top-selling car brand in Israel during the first nine months of the current year, with 29,745 vehicles registered under its name. This data comes from the Ministry of Transportation, as reported by Calcalist.
Following Toyota, Jaco secured the second position with 28,121 cars sold, while Chery ranked third with 25,383 units. Hyundai and Kia followed, taking fourth and fifth places respectively with 22,654 and 20,532 registrations.
In the electric vehicle sector, Tesla led the market from the beginning of the year, registering 4,980 cars. It held a narrow lead over China's Xpeng, which recorded 4,730 sales.
The data also highlights the significant presence of the Chinese group Chery, whose brands Jaco, Chery, and Omoda collectively represent the largest sales volume during this period. These figures are based on Ministry of Transportation data, encompassing vehicles imported both directly and indirectly, not solely relying on the Association of Car Importers' data.
