With the exception of the Brazilian market that reversed its loss from the previous month, other markets were down across the board with Australia recording its lowest figure since March 2014 by falling 8.9%, while the United Kingdom slumped by 4.1% due to ongoing slides in the sales of diesel vehicles.<\/p>\n

As a comparison, here is how South Africa’s Top 10 best sellers from February stacked-up against those from the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Brazil.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

Note<\/strong>: The Ford F-series keeps its position as the best-selling new vehicle in the United States ahead of the Chevrolet Silverado, but both Ford and General Motors only post quarterly figures instead of monthly, which explains the absence of numbers for Ford and Lincoln products, as well as Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC.<\/p>\n
