The Society of the Irish Motor Industry has released their official new vehicle statistics for the month of April
- 140 new cars registrations in Kerry the month of April compared to just six
- 1,231 new cars registered year to date compared to 1,153 for the same period in 2020 (+6.76%).
- 5,676 used cars were imported in to Ireland in April 2021, compared with 200 imports in April 2020
Hyundai’s Tucson remains the county’s most-popular car with 82 new versions registred this year. The Ford Focus is second on 55 while Volkswagen’s Tiguan is a newcomer in the top three with 49 new sales so far this year.
However, in combined sales, Toyota is the market leader on 159 models across the entire range sold so far this year.
As ever, the other end of the list offers equally compelling viewing. Rare cars on the road in Kerry include one new Mercedes Benz CLA; one Audi A8, and two different BMWs in the shape of 1 and 4 Series.
