Car Features - Best Selling Car Nameplates in the Philippines from 1995-2014

2014 was a record year for the industry, which saw some nameplates increase their sales (and in the case of old timers, beating their own records) and some declining.

For this year, new entries had their debut in this list with older cars such as the Kia Besta, Kia Pride, and Isuzu Hilander got knocked out of the list. The Mirage hatchback, who got its break in 2013 saw declining sales the following year causing its fall from this list. And after five years, the Fortuner bested the Montero Sport.

Do take note that vehicle figures for 2014 are from the manufacturer itself (Toyota) and while the Montero Sport's figures are estimates from our sales report.
