Chevrolet topped Egypt's vehicle sales chart in September with 2,899 units sold, according to the Egyptian Compulsory Motor Vehicle Insurance Pool report. Total market sales hit 76,575 vehicles, marking a 12.7% increase from August's 67,936 units — a gap of more than 8,000 vehicles. The figures reveal a competitive ranking among the ten best-selling brands during the month.
Chevrolet in the Lead... But the Competition Heats Up
Chevrolet secured first place with 2,899 units, leveraging a diverse lineup spanning passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. The American brand faced strong competition from Chery. That claimed second place with 2,176 units — a gap of just 723 vehicles from the leader. Third place went to MG with 2,171 units, narrowing the top-three spread to just 728 vehicles. The race is tight.
Nissan and Toyota... Japanese Brands Hold Strong
Nissan ranked fourth with 1,810 units, reinforcing its presence in the family and economy segments. Toyota followed in fifth with 1,580 units, a result reflecting continued trust in the Japanese marque. Sixth place went to Hyundai with 1,231 units, while Kia settled for eighth with 1,062 units.
Jetour, Geely, and Soueast... Chinese Brands Rise
Chinese automakers continued to strengthen their footprint in Egypt, with Jetour capturing seventh place with 1,131 units. Geely ranked ninth with 960 units, confirming that Chinese competition is no longer confined to a single segment. Closing out the top ten was Soueast with 849 units. Three Chinese brands among the top ten. That isn't coincidence but the result of aggressive pricing and dealer network expansion.
The 12.7% overall market growth reflects a gradual demand recovery after months of volatility. The 8,000-vehicle gap between August and September shows sales momentum accelerating, driven by financing offers and discounts on 2025 models ahead of year-end. Those who hold back now may lose more in the final quarter.
