11 years, 5 months ago - 8 July 2013, Le Matinal

Since the beginning of the year, there are already 3,643 cars on our roads. However, even if the trend looks like last year, in favor of new cars, reconditioned cars are also popular. Thus, it is difficult to predict whether the end of the year, dealers sell more new or used cars.

This is mainly with the 1.2-liter models as new cars arrive to take them out of the game, however, for cars over 1.2 liters to 1.6 liters, the competition is fierce.

Especially those that import reconditioned cars do not pay the carbon tax, which plays against the dealers of new cars.

Toyota mainlining sales

The trend in the automotive market this year shows that the record sales last year could be greatly exceeded.

Since January, the Mauritian fleet of over 3700 cars more. According to statistics, it is in April that sales of new cars was the strongest.

There were 714 vehicles sold in January, 694 in February, 791 in March, 747 in April and 697 in May.

Regarding the most sold in the first five months brand is Toyota which is leading, followed by KIA, Nissan, Hyundai and BMW.

There are 631 vehicles in the Toyota brand that have been sold since the beginning of the year. Toyota management Mauritius confirms these figures and says it is on track to maintain its leading position in the year 2013.

"We continue to offer a level of international standards, especially with the opening of our new showroom at Riche-Terre. We have a good team to support our growth, "said an official of the direction of the dealer.

However, with the fleet of vehicles is increasing in the country, the problem of congestion will increase inevitably. By car or bus drivers and passengers are not about to see ... bottlenecking at the end of the tunnel.
