Citroën’s results have increased sharply in the main South American markets.
In Brazil, Citroën sold 35,000 vehicles in 2006, for a year-on-year increase of 30%, largely outperforming the market increase of 12.5%. The brand’s market share rose from 1.7% in 2005 to 1.9% in 2006, boosted notably by the excellent performance of the C3 1.4 Flex Fuel model and the ongoing success of the Xsara Picasso, which, with sales of 10,000 units, continues to lead the compact MPV market. In first-quarter 2007 on the car and LCV market, Citroën sold 8,600 vehicles for 1.83% market share.
