Having suffered a five percent drop in November, Ford Argentina sales experienced a healthy increase in December. Despite the healthy year-over-year increase, last month's 1,549 sales represents a significant decrease in volume from the 2,354 deliveries in November 2022.
The Blue Oval brand's increase was fueled by strong performances of the Ford Ranger and Ford Transit in December. The locally-manufactured midsize pickup was in the green, with a significant improvement of 285 deliveries year-over-year, strengthening its position as Ford's most popular model in Argentina.
For its part, the Ford Transit once again stood out by registering the highest growth rate, remaining one of the fastest-growing vehicles within the Ford portfolio in the South American country.
