Looking at specific nameplates, the Nissan Sunny once again dominated with 1,213 units. The MG ZS followed with 632 sales, while the Hyundai Elantra AD posted 588 units. The Chery Arrizo 5 and Jetour T2 recorded 346 and 272 units respectively.

June Comparison – What Changed

The contrast with June could not be starker. Nissan led that month with 2,099 units, trailed by Chery (1,443) and Hyundai (1,332). Yet the real story was MG's incredible leap from fifth to first place in just 30 days.

Chery and Hyundai held their ground firmly, while Jetour lost one position after a strong June. Chevrolet and Changan swapped spots in the standings, and the rest of the pack remained relatively stable. The market is clearly entering a new phase of intense rivalry where no brand can afford to rest.
