1. Toyota Corolla Cross: 1,358 vehicles

Toyota’s B-class SUV leads the market with sales of 1,358 units, down 357 units compared to January 2022. It can be seen that Corolla Cross has always maintained a stable performance and is gradually replacing Toyota Vios to become the new “golden egg” of the Japanese automaker.

2. KIA Seltos: 1,255 vehicles

Competitor with Toyota Corolla Cross trailed in second place with 1,255 vehicles sold in February 2022, down 13.5% from the previous month (equivalent to 1,450 vehicles). However, this sales still helps KIA Seltos 2 places up in the rankings.

3. Toyota Vios: 1,181 vehicles

Ending February 2022, Toyota Vios sales reached 1,181 units, down 18.3% compared to the previous month reaching 1,446 units. However, the rank of the B-class sedan still increased 2 places in the top 10 and surpassed rivals such as Hyundai Accent and Honda City to lead the B-segment sedan segment.

4. KIA K3: 1,134 vehicles

With sales reaching 1,134 vehicles, a slight increase of 19 vehicles compared to the previous month, KIA K3 is a rare name with positive growth in February 2022. This sales also helped the Korean brand’s C-class sedan rise 6 places to rank 4th in the top 10.

5. Mazda CX-5: 1,054 vehicles

Mazda CX-5 sold 1,054 vehicles in February 2022, down 162 vehicles compared to January 2022. However, the ranking of this model increased by 4 places, from 9th to 5th among the 10 best-selling cars, and at the same time became the best-selling C-class CUV in the segment.

6. Hyundai Accent: 1,001 cars

February 2022 can be considered a dismal business month for Hyundai Accent when it sold only 1,001 vehicles, down 2.4 times or 1,397 vehicles compared to the previous month.

7. Hyundai Grand i10: 987 cars

Hyundai Grand i10 is also a rare model with positive sales growth in February 2022 with 987 units, an increase of 77 units compared to the previous month.
