Hybrid vehicles have gained a lot of ground in Israel and are already public favorites, with the Corolla the one who has managed to conquer first place after many months with the Ioniq dominating. Very well the Chevrolet Spark It has revitalized the brand’s numbers at a very delicate time, saving many dealers from an almost unsustainable situation.
SEAT It is shining like never before in this market and has climbed positions despite the health crisis. If there were more units in stock, the figures would have been much higher since the demand for the Ibiza and Arona there seems to be no end. Excellent figures also for various models of Subaru, Mitsubishi, and Suzuki.
