Toyota’s plant in Argentina is expected to be the one that produces the most in the country. It makes the Hilux, the SW4 SUV and the Hiace van for the local market and for other Latin American countries.
In 2025 the Toyota Hilux was the best-selling car in Argentina, taking the throne that was once the Peugeot 208 and the Fiat Cronos. Last year was the first year of growth in the automotive market of our neighbors since 2018.
Stellantis opened a factory in Algeria in 2023, which made the 500 for two years and today produces the Doblo and the new Grande Panda. The best-selling car in the country is the Italian brand’s van.
The current generation of the Fiat Doblo is derived from the Citroën Berlingo and looks like a shrunken version of the Scudo. It can be electric or come with gasoline or diesel engines from the French part of Stellantis.
The Škoda Octavia was a surprise in this series of articles about the best-selling cars in the World Cup countries. He appears again, as he is the leader in Austria.
The medium car is sold as a sedan or station wagon and has a good cost/benefit ratio within the European market. The engine options are Volkswagen’s well-known 1.0, 1.4 and 2.0 TSI, with a plug-in hybrid model and a diesel to complement the offer.
The Toyota Hilux took the position of best-selling car in Jordan from the Land Cruiser 70 pickup, also from the Japanese brand. The demand for SUVs is so high in this country that there are only pickup trucks and SUVs in the top 10.
The Hilux sold in Jordan uses the same 2.8 turbodiesel that is used in Brazil only in the top versions. The simplest work-oriented models use a 2.4 turbodiesel with 150 hp and 41 kgfm.
