How to read these numbers

  • Sales are new vehicles registered with the Civil Registry, according to the monthly report of ANAC (the National Automotive Association of Chile). Used cars are not included.
  • ANAC publishes the 20 best-selling models of each segment. The overall ranking on this page combines those four rankings and stops where a model outside them could still appear.
  • Sales by region use the region of registration. There are no sales by municipality.
  • Vehicles in circulation are the permits paid in each municipality during the year (INE). The permit can be paid in a municipality other than where the owner lives, so some municipalities have many more permits than local vehicles.
  • 12-month totals, rankings and comparisons are calculations by ciudades.io with ANAC and INE data.
