After advancing last October, the Mexican automotive industry slowed down again in November 2025, registering 148,359 units sold , a drop of 0.3% compared to the same month in 2024, when 148,864 cars were sold.
In the January-November period, vehicle sales reached 1,370,186 units , which represented a 1% increase compared to the same period of the previous year, when the total was 1,357,182 cars sold, according to figures from the Administrative Registry of the Automotive Industry of Light Vehicles (RAIAVL) , released this Wednesday by the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (Inegi) .
According to Inegi records, this is the third best January-November cycle in the last 10 years.
Among the best-performing brands in the first 11 months of 2025 are Nissan with 17.9% of the market. They are followed by General Motors with 12.9% , Volkswagen with 11.3% , Toyota with 8.3% , and KIA with 7.4% , according to the Mexican Association of Automotive Distributors (AMDA) and the Mexican Automotive Industry Association (AMIA) .
According to the report from these organizations, some Asian brands showed negative sales performance last November. Isuzu reported a 38.4% decrease in sales , Foton a 31.6% drop , Mitsubishi an 11.1% decrease , Suzuki a 7.7% decrease, and Toyota a 4.3% decrease .
The strong pace of vehicle sales recorded in September and October fell in the eleventh month of the year, due to the United States’ tariff policy and lower consumption in the Mexican market.
The November result also emphasizes that there is still no sustained recovery of the domestic market; however, the Mexican automotive industry remains resilient in the face of constant trade changes.
