Mauritius Car Sales By Brand : 2013

Looks like a place I would like to holiday in

Kia has been doing well here lately

Mauritius is an island nation in the Indian Ocean, which got its independence from the UK in 1968. It was home to the Dodo bird, famous for it's extinction. Kia has taken the island by storm, and now has a strong lead in sales of private cars. Toyota has also been making a move here, as has Malaysian brand Perodua (maker of Daihatsus under licence).
