Taiwan April 2026: Toyota RAV4, Mercedes CLA among best performers
The Mercedes CLA is up to #14 in Taiwan in April.
New car sales in Taiwan skid -4.5% year-on-year in April to 31,407 units, leading to a year-to-date tally down -3.7% to 127,841. Toyota (+3.2%) defies the negative trend with a small uptick to reach 32.8% share vs. 31.1% so far this year. Lexus (-13.4%) is back up two spots on last month to its traditional 2nd place with 6.8% share, while CMC (-18.1%) is also up two to #3 despite a drab YoY evolution. The same goes for Mercedes (-21.8%) up six ranks to #4 but freefalling YoY. Mazda (+67.4%), Mitsubishi (+37.3%) and Ford (+33.9%) all go against the market with splendid YoY gains. Tesla (-95.7%) goes from 5,421 sales and 13.9% share in March (#2) to just 7 sales this month.
Model-wise, the Toyota Corolla Cross (+11.6%) reclaims the top spot at 11.4% share with the Toyota RAV4 (+24.7%) back in great shape at #2. The CMC J Space (-16.8%) rounds out the podium but suffers from a particularly high year-ago comparison base. The new Ford Territory confirms it is an instant blockbuster by reaching a record 4th place, also hit last February. The Honda HR-V (+64.4%) also shines at #8, with the Nissan Kicks (+39.9%) just missing out on a first Top 10 finish in 3 years at #11. The Mercedes CLA (+535.6%) surges to #14 thanks to the new generation.
