Best Selling Cars Around The Globe: Simple Passenger Cars in Bolivia? Que No!
Over the past few weeks, I have taken you on trips to exotic and mysterious Eritrea, Chile, Georgia and Myanmar. The last 3 are only because of you because I have decided to now only take you to where you asked to go. And today we are going to Bolivia, simply because lilpoindexter asked for it.
If you are already South America’ed out after Chile, that’s ok because I have prepared 159 additional countries for you to explore in my blog. So don’t be shy and click away! Adelante!
Now to make this hard for me, once again you have chosen a country with no official sales data available.
Nice. Thanks for that. Oh wait…
Like in neighbour Peru, the Toyota Hilux should be the best-selling car in Bolivia…
…with the Nissan Frontier taking the 2nd spot.
The Toyota 4Runner could round up the podium, which would make Bolivia its best-performing country in the world.
The Suzuki Grand Vitara has been a runaway hit in the country for 2 generations and should land in 4th place.
Followed by the best-selling Passenger Car the Hyundai Accent at #5.
The Mitsubishi L200 could rank 7th and the Mitsubishi Montero 8th.

Further down the ranking, notice the BMW X5 at the Toyota FJ Cruiser at the BMW 5 Series at #21 and the Range Rover Sport at The presence of such luxurious models that high in the ranking is understandable: it is the result of Bolivian new car sales being still very limited in volume and reserved to an elite, the characteristics of a car market still in its infancy.
Expert on the Bolivian car market and able to boast about it as soon as tonight’s dinner? Check!
Until next week!

- JMII My wife's next car will be an EV. As long as it costs under $42k that is totally within our budget. The average cost of a new ICE car is... (checks interwebs) = $47k. So EVs are already in the "affordable" range for today's new car buyers.We already have two other ICE vehicles one of which has a 6.2l V8 with a manual. This way we can have our cake and eat it too. If your a one vehicle household I can see why an EV, no matter the cost, may not work in that situation. But if you have two vehicles one can easily be an EV.My brother has an EV (Tesla Model Y) along with two ICE Porsche's (one is a dedicated track car) and his high school age daughters share an EV (Bolt). I fully assume his daughters will never drive an ICE vehicle. Just like they have never watched anything but HiDef TV, never used a land-line, nor been without an iPad. To them the concept of an ICE power vehicle is complete ridiculous - you mean you have to STOP driving to put some gas in and then PAY for it!!! Why? the car should already charged and the cost is covered by just paying the monthly electric bill.So the way I see it the EV problem will solve itself, once all the boomers die off. Myself as part of Gen X / MTV Generation will have drive a mix of EV and ICE.

- Fred I had a 2009 S-line mine was chipped but otherwise stock. I still say it was the best "new" car I ever had. I wanted to get the new A3, but it was too expensive, didn't come with a hatch and no manual.
