Toyota tops Cyprus car registrations as Kia leads new-car market
Cystat figures show Toyota accounted for almost a quarter of passenger car registrations in Cyprus in January–September 2026, while Kia ranked first for new cars.
Nicosia, Cyprus. Toyota led passenger car registrations in Cyprus during January–September 2026, representing almost a quarter of the total, according to the statistical service, Cystat. Kia ranked first in registrations of new cars.
Toyota leads overall rankings
Cystat recorded 8,232 Toyota registrations over the nine months, more than twice Mazda’s second-place total of 3,881.
The next three positions went to Nissan, with 2,535 registrations, BMW, with 2,090, and Mercedes, with 1,744.
Honda’s total reached 1,335, while Kia registered 1,160, Volkswagen 858 and Audi 710. Chinese manufacturer BYD recorded 686.
Used vehicles account for most Toyota and Mazda registrations
The Cystat breakdown showed that second-hand vehicles accounted for 7,435 Toyota registrations, exceeding 90 per cent of the brand’s total and largely explaining its overall lead.
Mazda’s reliance on used cars was greater still: 3,832 of its 3,881 registrations were second-hand, with only 49 involving new vehicles.
Kia takes first place for new cars
In the new-car segment, Cystat recorded 1,096 registrations for Kia, compared with 797 for Toyota and 734 for Nissan.
BYD ranked fourth with 678 new cars registered, ahead of BMW’s 605. The remaining brands in the top ten were Volkswagen, Hyundai, Mercedes, Jeep and Renault.
The figures showed a marked contrast between the two segments: established Japanese manufacturers dominated used-car registrations, whereas the leading brands for new cars were more varied.
