Egypt Vehicle Sales Report: Chevrolet Leads July While MG Makes a Striking Leap to Second Place

The numbers tell the story. Egypt's mandatory vehicle insurance authority has released its official ranking of the best-selling new car brands for July, covering everything from passenger sedans to trucks and buses. Total registrations reached 63,541 vehicles last month, a figure that shows a clear drop compared to June's stronger performance in the local market.

Top 10 automakers dominating Egypt's market

Chevrolet continues its firm grip on the Egyptian market, topping the list with 3,169 vehicles sold in July without any challenge to its leadership position. MG stormed into second place with 1,697 units, an impressive jump from sixth position just one month earlier, while Chery secured third place with 1,646 vehicles.

Competition in the upper ranks remains fierce. Hyundai claimed fourth spot with 1,574 units, closely followed by Nissan in fifth place with just 1,554 vehicles sold. Jetour landed sixth with 1,458 registrations, while Toyota moved up to seventh place after selling 1,238 units during the month.

There are surprises further down the list too. Soueast slipped to eighth place with 1,209 vehicles. Kia retained its ninth position after recording 1,040 sales. Mercedes rounded out the top ten with just 812 units registered in July, bringing up the rear among the major players.

How July compares to June's rankings

The gap at the top is remarkable. Chevrolet kept its crown unchanged from June, despite a slight sales dip from 3,259 to 3,169 vehicles. But the real story is MG's rapid climb from sixth to second place — a shift that signals changing buyer preferences across Egypt's showrooms in a very short window.

So what happened to everyone else? Chery held steady in third position, while Nissan suffered a sharp fall from runner-up to fifth place, landing behind Hyundai which stayed put in fourth. Jetour slipped one notch from fifth to sixth. Toyota advanced from eighth to seventh in an otherwise mixed bag of movements.

The bottom half of the chart tells a quieter story. Soueast dropped from seventh to eighth, yet both Kia and Mercedes maintained their ninth and tenth rankings with no changes at all between the two months. That contrast between stability at the edges and rapid movement in the middle paints a dynamic picture of Egypt's evolving vehicle market.
