For the first time since Kerry Motorsport News began publishing county registration records in August 2022, the Hyundai Tucson’s long-standing reign as County Kerry’s most popular car looks under genuine threat.
Recent July figures show the Toyota Yaris Cross trailing the Tucson by just two sales units—the closest gap recorded between the top two models.
With five months of sales still to run in 2026, the race for the top spot on Kerry’s individual car sales chart is set to go right down to the wire.
