From January-May 2018, a total of 275,158 cars were sold in Belgium, according to Europe’s association of car manufacturers ACEA, giving the country the sixth largest market in the region behind Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, and Spain. The best-selling brands were Volkswagen (27,022 units), Renault (24,820), Peugeot (21,927), BMW (19,026) and Opel (17,260).

As for Brazil, Latin America’s largest market, 794,907 vehicles sold from January-May, according to the country’s motor vehicles distribution federation Fenabrave. The top sellers were Chevrolet (141,462 units), Volkswagen (112,473), Ford (81,379), Hyundai (79,284) and Fiat (66,408).
