Historia
Primeros años (1903-1960)
En 1903, los automóviles llegaron por primera vez a la Ciudad de México , totalizando 136 automóviles en ese año y aumentando a 800 en 1906. Esto alentó al entonces presidente Porfirio Díaz , a crear tanto el primer código vial mexicano (que permitiría a los automóviles moverse a una velocidad máxima de 10 km / ho 6 mph en calles concurridas o pequeñas y 40 km / ho 25 mph en otros lugares) y, junto con esto, un impuesto para los propietarios de automóviles que se aboliría en 1911 con la exitosa campaña de Francisco I. dictadura al estallar la Revolución Mexicana . En 1910, Daimler y Renault establecieron pequeñas instalaciones para el ensamblaje local de vehículos principalmente para el gobierno mexicano a instancias de Porfirio Díaz, pero estas funcionaron por poco más de unos meses antes de ser destruidas en la Revolución Mexicana. Poco tiempo después del final de la lucha armada, Buick se convirtió en el primer productor de automóviles en establecerse oficialmente en México, a partir de 1921. En 1925, se estableció Ford Motor Company y comenzó a fabricar vehículos en el país y, a partir de 2020, sigue siendo la marca más antigua del país. En 1961, México produjo su primer vehículo totalmente doméstico, un camión pequeño llamado Rural Ramírez , producido por la empresa de camiones Ramirez.
Declive (1961-1993)
Muchos fabricantes de automóviles ya estaban operativos en 1961 cuando se presentó el primer declive de la economía mexicana. A principios de la década de 1960, las regulaciones gubernamentales obligaron a las empresas automotrices a ensamblar automóviles en México, utilizando componentes locales e importados. La idea era desarrollar una industria automotriz nacional en el país, para promover el empleo y los avances tecnológicos. Aquellas empresas que no cumplirían con estas regulaciones abandonaron el país; estos incluían Mercedes Benz , FIAT , Citroën , Peugeot y Volvo . Los tres grandes estadounidenses ( General Motors , Ford y Chrysler ) se mantuvieron junto con American Motors , Renault , Volkswagen , Datsun y Borgward .
En este mismo año, debido al anuncio de los próximos Juegos Olímpicos de Verano de 1968 que se realizarán en México, el Gobierno volvió a emitir el impuesto a la propiedad de automóviles de Díaz, supuestamente para costear la construcción de nuevas instalaciones para tal evento; esto se llamó Tenencia Vehicular (del verbo tener ; "tener" en español ). Sin embargo, el impuesto se mantuvo para financiar la Copa Mundial de la FIFA 1970 , también celebrada en México. Irónicamente, el impuesto permanece hoy en la mayoría de los estados y debe pagarse año tras año. Este impuesto es variable según el valor del automóvil, la cantidad de cilindros, el tipo de transmisión, el aire acondicionado y otras características, sumando un pago de hasta el 10% del valor total del automóvil.
También existe un segundo impuesto al comprar un vehículo nuevo llamado Impuesto sobre Automóviles Nuevos o ISAN ("Impuesto sobre vehículos nuevos"), que también depende de las especificaciones y el costo del vehículo. A diferencia de la Tenencia , este impuesto se paga una sola vez. La ley federal requiere que todos los precios de automóviles que figuran en los medios o concesionarios tengan el impuesto estándar de IVA del 16% y el ISAN incluidos en el precio de lista.
Dado que muchos conductores mexicanos no pagan esto [ ¿cuál? ] impuestos, el Gobierno comenzó a tomar contramedidas. Sin embargo, debido a que esto se percibió como incontrolable, los políticos comenzaron a hacer propuestas para abolir este impuesto, notablemente Felipe Calderón . Tenencia , a partir de 2011, solo ha sido abolida en Querétaro . El 4 de marzo de 2011, el presidente Calderón anunció que Tenencia será completamente abolida para 2012 en todos los estados, pero no en el Distrito Federal, que comprende la mayor parte de la Ciudad de México .
Renacimiento (1994-2006)
El crecimiento de la economía de México a finales de los noventa estimuló las ventas de automóviles en México y, finalmente, la mayoría de los fabricantes de automóviles retirados se restablecieron en el país. Fabricantes como Honda y Porsche llegaron por primera vez durante los últimos años del siglo XX, y otros como Peugeot y Mercedes-Benz le dieron a México una "segunda oportunidad", ambos restablecidos en 1997.
Las ventas anuales de vehículos de pasajeros en México alcanzaron el hito de un millón en 2005. Las crecientes cifras de ventas alentaron a los fabricantes de automóviles a ofrecer automóviles con combustibles alternativos como el Honda Civic Hybrid y el Volkswagen Jetta TDI. Estos autos no estaban disponibles en México desde el primer Volkswagen Caribe con motor diésel a fines de los 70 y principios de los 80 (ver párrafos para cada fabricante: Honda y Volkswagen); Aún son pocos los fabricantes de automóviles que han lanzado sus versiones con motor diésel en el mercado mexicano debido a leyes de emisiones gubernamentales más estrictas que las del estándar Euro IV de la Unión Europea. Esto da como resultado un mercado de automóviles exclusivamente a gasolina en el que los conductores no pueden aprovechar los beneficios potenciales de los automóviles diésel. Los autos diésel no son adecuados / permitidos para conducir todos los días en la Ciudad de México; Los vehículos diésel nuevos enfrentan las restricciones de "Hoy no Circula".
Mercado actual (2007-presente)
El estudio mexicano Mastretta Cars anunció por primera vez la creación de su MXT a través de la revista Automóvil Panamericano en mayo de 2007. El vehículo es el primer automóvil deportivo mexicano jamás construido y presenta especificaciones similares a las de Lotus Elise y Porsche Cayman . La producción de MXT comenzó en enero de 2011.
En 2010, el fabricante mexicano de autobuses Cimex anunció que se estaba expandiendo al campo de los vehículos de pasajeros y estaba desarrollando una camioneta llamada Conin, que sería la primera camioneta doméstica de México cuando se espera que entre en producción en 2013. [1]
A la fecha, 42 fabricantes tienen representación oficial en el país con cerca de 400 modelos diferentes, lo que convierte a México en uno de los mercados automotrices más variados del mundo.
El sector automotriz representa el 17.6% del sector manufacturero de México. [2] México es el segundo país fabricante de automóviles más grande del hemisferio occidental, después de Estados Unidos, con 4 millones de vehículos en 2017. [3] La industria produce componentes tecnológicamente complejos y se dedica a la investigación y el desarrollo. [4] Los "Tres Grandes" ( General Motors , Ford y Chrysler ) han estado operando en México desde la década de 1930, mientras que Volkswagen y Nissan construyeron sus plantas en la década de 1960. [5] Solo en Puebla, 70 fabricantes de piezas industriales se agrupan en torno a Volkswagen. [4] En la década de 2010, la expansión del sector estaba aumentando. En 2014, se comprometieron más de $ 10 mil millones en inversiones en los primeros meses del año. Kia Motors en agosto de 2014 anunció planes para una fábrica de $ 1 mil millones en Nuevo León . En ese momento, Mercedes-Benz y Nissan ya estaban construyendo una planta de $ 1.4 mil millones cerca de Aguascalientes , mientras que BMW planeaba una planta de ensamblaje de $ 1 mil millones en San Luis Potosí . Además, Audi comenzó a construir una fábrica de $ 1.3 mil millones cerca de Puebla en 2013. [6] De las exportaciones de automóviles mexicanos a los Estados Unidos, la mayoría se transporta por ferrocarril y algunas por mar. [7]
Restricciones de uso de vehículos
En la Ciudad de México se implementa el programa "Hoy no circula". Cada vehículo tiene una etiqueta de color según el número final de su placa, así como un número para determinar su tasa de contaminación. Los autos nuevos "00" y los modelos recientes "0" están exentos; "Hoy no circula" sólo se aplica a los vehículos de más de 8 años, que tienen designaciones "1" y "2". El programa funciona eliminando estos vehículos de la circulación un día durante la semana y, recientemente, un sábado por mes, según el último número de su matrícula. Dichas limitaciones ocurren de la siguiente manera:
- Las placas que terminan con 5 o 6 ( amarillo ) no se pueden conducir los lunes y el primer sábado del mes actual.
- Las placas que terminan con 7 u 8 ( rosa ) no se pueden conducir los martes y el segundo sábado del mes actual.
- Las placas que terminan con 3 o 4 ( rojo ) no se pueden conducir los miércoles y el tercer sábado del mes actual.
- Las placas que terminan con 1 o 2 ( verde ) no se pueden conducir los jueves y el cuarto sábado del mes actual.
- Las placas que terminan con 9 o 0 ( azul ) no se pueden conducir los viernes y el quinto sábado (si corresponde) del mes actual.
Por ejemplo, no se permitirá conducir un Volkswagen Golf ficticio de 1985 con placas 903-NRX los miércoles 18 de septiembre de 2010 ni el 16 de octubre de 2010, etc. Las restricciones de fines de semana más recientes han recibido críticas. Solo unos pocos meses al año tienen cinco sábados, por lo que los autos con etiquetas azules se retirarán de la circulación solo cuatro o cinco fines de semana al año, mientras que el resto de los autos se prohibirá el fin de semana una vez al mes.
Cultura automotriz y salón del automóvil de México
Desde la primera "Autoexpo del Automóvil", la cultura automotriz en México ha ido creciendo. Las primeras revistas automotrices mexicanas fueron publicadas en noviembre de 1982 por la revista Motor y Volante , que se hizo famosa instantáneamente por sus críticas irreverentes y pruebas de desempeño profesional de las versiones locales de muchos autos. Después de más de 10 años de ser la única revista especializada, otras editoriales decidieron subirse al tren; a principios de 1995, Revista 4 Ruedas , y poco después, Automóvil Panamericano vio la luz. Los avances tecnológicos han hecho que Motor y Volante siga siendo la única revista digital de automóviles (solo por suscripción) pero con una afiliación extremadamente grande debido a sus 30 años de existencia. La Autoexpo cambió de denominación en 2004 a "Salón Internacional del Automovil" para reflejar su crecimiento en un evento de tamaño internacional. De hecho, es un evento comparable al North American International Auto Show en Detroit . En las dos primeras ediciones del Salón del Automóvil de México se introdujeron marcas nuevas en México, como Mazda . Jaguar y Volvo no asistieron a las ediciones de 2004 o 2005. Por lo general, Renault asistía cada dos años. Sin embargo, la edición de 2006 del salón del automóvil se consideró un fracaso y un fraude, ya que más de 15 fabricantes de automóviles se perdieron el evento, incluidos Volkswagen Group, Renault y Peugeot. Después de la edición de 2006 y por primera vez desde 1994, SIAM no se acogió al año siguiente. Actualmente se organiza un evento de dos años.
Algunos autos muy exitosos en México
Some cars have been especially successful in Mexico, depending on their cost and viability.
Chevrolet Corsa
The second-generation Opel Corsa (imported from Spain) was first introduced in Mexico in 1994 under the name "Chevrolet Chevy" as a response to the successful Volkswagen Sedán. General Motors used a practical, supermini with an affordable price tag for the Mexican consumer that gave excellent results. From 1996, when the Chevy Popular or Chevy Pop budget trim was introduced, and the Chevy began to be produced in the Ramos Arizpe GM assembly plant, it replaced the Volkswagen Sedan (Beetle) as the top selling car in Mexico. Chevrolet soon launched the also Mexican made Chevy Monza, similar to the 4-door saloon version of the Chevrolet Classic still produced in Argentina, for those who wanted a bigger trunk and more room for the same low price.
The design was not changed until 2000 when it was facelifted in Europe with transparent headlights, newer rear lights and a new interior. A station wagon imported from Argentina was also launched, as well as a Brazilian-made pickup variant. With the introduction of the Corsa III, however, the older Corsa was no longer manufactured in European GM plants. This generation Corsa remained in production in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina. In 2004, Mexican designers redesigned the Chevy inside and out and upgraded the 1.6-liter engine to reach 98 bhp. This newer Chevrolet was called C2 as a reference to the Corvette generations. In July 2008, a facelift designed in Detroit was introduced for the new 2009 Chevy, available in 3- and 5-door hatchback, and 4-door sedan bodies.
Nissan Tsuru
The Datsun 160J was a mid-size sedan that sold well but did not meet the sales number benchmark set by its successor. In 1983 the first Nissan Sentra was launched as a replacement for the 160J under the name "Tsuru", Japanese for crane. While the Tsuru was quickly accepted by Mexicans as a comfortable and affordable car, it did not replace the VW Sedán as the top-selling car in Mexico.
A second-generation Tsuru was launched in late 1987 as a 1988 model with a more square-shaped and larger design. Neither generation, however, managed to become the best-selling car in Mexico.
The third generation Tsuru (the Sentra III) was introduced in November 1991. This Tsuru featured a more rounded 1990s type design scheme. Soon the third generation Tsuru was known for being powerful and comfortable, yet affordable. With the new Chevrolet Chevy in 1994, however, the Tsuru had a new rival. It didn't take long for it to overtake the Chevy, and, soon after, the Sedán. It reached number 1 in 1998, and it stayed there until 2005, with the Volkswagen Pointer. The Renault-based Nissan Platina was thought to be its successor, but the incredible sales ranking of the Tsuru kept the Platina as another option. The Platina remained in the top 10 until it was discontinued in 2010, alongside its hatchback counterpart, the Clio.
The Tsuru remains the most popular choice for city (but not for highway due to a lack of stability) taxi cab drivers in Mexico (airport and hotel taxis usually drive higher end vehicles, such as Audi), along with the MkIII. It is currently the longest-running car in terms of consecutive years sold in Mexico in the century (18 years), ended only by concerns over crash safety and emissions.[8]
Volkswagen Jetta (Volkswagen Clásico from 2010 to 2015)
The first Jetta was renamed Atlantic for the Mexican market. It sold well, so Volkswagen decided to start manufacturing it in their factory at Puebla, Mexico. In late 1998, the fourth generation Jetta (called Bora in Europe) reached Mexico. The car showed off a new design, which did not appeal initially to Mexicans. However, good marketing tactics and phrases like "No cambies, evoluciona" (Don't change, evolve) resulted in a quick change of opinion, and for the first time, a mid-sized vehicle made it into Mexico's top 10 sellers list; the Jetta became a hit and ranked as the fourth best-seller. The catch phrase "Todo mundo tiene un Jetta, al menos en la cabeza" (Everyone has a Jetta, at least in their mind) became a reality or so it seems as it is common to see many Jettas driving nearby on the streets. The car's success was such that it was not replaced in 2005 by the Jetta V, which adopted the Bora moniker, so the Jetta IV continued to be offered for sale. Both cars achieved even greater success in their later years: Jetta IV placed number one for a month in June 2009, and Bora has stayed among the top five since 2008. A redesigned Jetta was released in 2009 and advertised with a new slogan: "Porque el corazón no da explicaciones" (Because the heart gives no reasons).
On July 22, 2010, the sixth generation Jetta was released. As of August 2010, Mexico was the only country in the world where fourth, fifth and sixth generation Jettas were being sold at the same time. Bora left the dealerships in late 2010, but Jetta IV was still being offered afterwards due to its high sales. Incidentally, Volkswagen changed this version's moniker to simply Clásico (Spanish for "classic"). The Volkswagen Clásico sold very well until the 2015 model, which was the year it was discontinued, with the new Indian-built Vento taking its place.
Volkswagen Sedán
The first Volkswagen car sold in Mexico was the 1954 Beetle, called Sedán in this country. The popularity of the Beetle led VW to build their own factory in the state of Puebla, Mexico. In the early 80s, Mexico and Brazil were the only countries producing the Beetle (Sedán in Mexico, Fusca in Brazil), so many foreign enthusiasts used to import the car and keep it as a collectible. Brazil stopped producing the Fusca in 1997, and Mexico became the sole producer until 2003.
Volkswagen broadcast a minute-long farewell TV advertisement with people waving goodbye to the Sedán as it made its way through the avenue. On July 30, 2003 the last Beetle came out from the Puebla factory, closing a chapter in automobile history. The 3000th last edition Sedán was given to Pope John Paul II and now resides in the Volkswagen museum in Germany.
Empresas con Marcas Oficiales en México
This is a brief history of the car makers in this country.
Audi
Audi operates a car factory at San José Chiapa with a capacity of 150,000 units per year, including the Q5. Some parts are exported to China and India.[9][10][11]
Aston Martin
Aston Martin entered the Mexican auto market in 2014 with the opening of their first dealership in Mexico City located in the Polanco neighborhood.
Bayerische Motoren Werke AG
- Brands BMW and Mini.
See: BMW Mexico
Chrysler Group, LLC
- Brands Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep; and vehicles by Hyundai (until 2014).
Chrysler entered Mexico around 1937. In the '60s, the company was renamed Automex. Then in the '70s, their name changed again to Chrysler de México. The latest models are launched just after those in the United States are launched. Chrysler markets several brands including Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, Smart, Maybach, and Mitsubishi (in partnership). They sold Hyundai passenger cars, cargo vans, and passenger vans under a "by Dodge" badge. This was because Hyundai had no official representation in Mexico until 2014. Strangely enough, the Dodge Ramcharger 2-door SUV was popular in the Mexican market. Chrysler even developed a version of the Ramcharger based on the 1994 Ram (not offered in the US) due to the popularity of 2-door SUV's in Mexico and the lack of market in the US.
For many years, Dodge vehicles were sometimes rebadged as Chryslers, for example, the Neon.
First Automobile Works
- Brands FAW.
The first Chinese car maker in Mexico was introduced in January 2008 through the Elektra convenience stores, owned by Grupo Salinas. Although the F1 is the least expensive automobile in the country, FAW received very poor sales in comparison with popular brands such as GM, Volkswagen and Nissan. While some critics dismissed FAW due to its origin and the main purpose of offering an economy product, others supported it by showing videos recorded during the EuroNCAP tests for the F5. Its latest slogan was "impulsa tus sueños" (impulse your dreams), and it was marketed towards people unable to afford an expensive car. FAW initially planned to construct a factory in Mexico capable of producing over 100,000 vehicles annually; however, after the company saw the poor initial sales, they cancelled the plan. FAW has since left Mexico, but thanks to Great Wall Motors, it still is operating today under its commercial vehicle division.[12]
Fiat S.p.A.
- Brands Ferrari, Fiat and Maserati.
Fiat re-entered Mexico in 2004 in collaboration with General Motors, before its commercial rupture. Fiat hadn't achieved much sales success due to having only one model for sale until the beginning of 2006. Upon its introduction, the Punto was a hit for the carmaker.
Ferrari entered the country in 1998 with the F355 Spider. The Enzo Ferrari arrived in early 2004 at the former dealership at Avenida de los Insurgentes (now Alfa Romeo taking its place) in Mexico City with a price of $1,285,000 US dollars. Five units were sold. Furthermore, Ferrari chose Chiapas to test its F430 in 2004 before it came out. Curiously, they are the only carmaker to offer their entire catalogue in Mexico.
Ford Motor Company
- Brands Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Volvo.
Ford Motor Company México had excellent sales during the 1950s, '60s and '70s, before being overtaken by General Motors. It used to hold the second place in sales. For several decades, Ford sold various successful Mercury models under a Ford badge, most notoriously the Mercury Zephyr as the Ford Elite II (with a Ford Granada front end), Grand Marquis, Cougar, Topaz (an upmarket Ford Tempo) and Ghia (an upmarket Mercury Topaz).
From 1996, Lincoln dealerships became Lincoln-Mercury dealerships selling both brands.
For a time, the hot hatch Focus ST was the only hatchback Focus available in Mexico. It offers a 2.5i 5-cylinder engine like the European versions—Mexico being the only country in America in which Ford offers this European version (imported from Germany). Family versions were released with two trim levels and a 2.0i petrol engine. This is not the same as the Focus sold in the United States, which is based on the original 1998–2005 version.
The European Ford Mondeo appeared in 2003, although it was different from the mainland Europe version; being more luxurious, it sold for approximately £20,000 for a 2.0i model.
Their successful Ikon (sedan version of the Fiesta II) remained a favourite for low income families, sharing similar success with the next generation model in 2005, the Fiesta III Sedan. However, it is the Brazilian EcoSport compact SUV which now holds the Ford's best seller title.
The latest Mustang remains a favourite with men in their 20s and 30s, as its previous generations did.
In 2010, the Taurus badge returned to Mexico after a 12-year absence, and was discontinued thereafter.
Ford has two factories in Mexico, producing around 400,000 cars per year at Hermosillo and Cuautitlán, mostly for export to US and Canada.[13][14][15][16]
Fuji Heavy Industries Group
- Brands Subaru.
General Motors Company
- Brands Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC and vehicles by Opel and Holden.
General Motors was the sales leader in Mexico until 2009, when Nissan overtook GM.[17] From the early '60s to the early '90s, Chevrolet was the only brand available, even in the '90s when GM sold Buicks and Oldsmobiles under the Chevrolet brand (e.g. the Buick Century as the Chevrolet Century Limited and the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera as the Chevrolet Cutlass and Chevrolet Eurosport). GMC models were also previously sold as Chevrolets in Mexico. Chevrolet was one of the first carmakers to establish itself in Mexico. The second formal GM brand to re-enter the market was Cadillac in 1991. Then more brands came throughout the decade. GM now markets several brands like Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC.
The first Opel car in Mexico was the Rekord produced in the '60s. The carmaker retired from the country from 1972 until 1994, the year GM introduced the Opel Corsa under the name Chevrolet Chevy. Opel vehicles are currently sold under the Buick brand name in Mexico. The success of the Chevrolet Chevy (C2 redesigned in Mexico) kept GM ranked as the number one seller from 1995 until 2009.[17]
GM introduced the Caprice and Lumina to the Mexican market again in the late 1990s, and turned massive profits off of those vehicles, where the Caprice is a popular taxi and police car. Chevrolet stopped importing the Lumina in 2013, which its slots were filled by the Malibu, Silverado (known in Cheyenne in this market), Camaro, and SS. The Caprice's slot was then filled by the Impala and Malibu in 2017.
GM introduced the previous Daewoo Matiz to Mexico under the name Pontiac Matiz, but shortly after Pontiac's discontinuation, the Matiz was sold under the Chevrolet logo in Europe. With the G3 and Aveo, GM offered the same model in Mexico as the Saturn models in the United States.
The Hummer H1 was available for the Mexican Army through the '90s. With the late 2007 scandal involving former president Vicente Fox (portraying him as the owner of diverse vehicles from unknown funds, notably a Hummer), jokes referring to the Hummer became popular throughout the country. After the Pontiac brand stopped production of all cars in late 2010 as GM announced, Buick is expected to replace Pontiac in the Mexican market and become GMC's partner brand as most dealerships in Mexico are GMC-Pontiac.
Saab had a reputation similar to Volvo's. Both brands are respected for their safety concept and Swedish design. They left in 2010 due to Spyker buying out the firm, except for Volvo, which returned to the market a few years later after its absence.
The Cadillac Catera became a successful model in Mexico during the '90's. Nowadays the Escalade is the top selling Cadillac.
Honda Motor Company, Ltd.
- Brands Acura and Honda.
HCL - Honda Celaya Plant
Hyundai Motor Company
- Brands Hyundai and Kia.
Hyundai Motor México entered the Mexican market in 2014 with the Grand i10, Elantra, and the ix35. Soon afterwards, the Sonata joined the lineup. Prior to the introduction of the Hyundai brand for non-commercial vehicles, Hyundai passenger vehicles, light-duty cargo vans, and passenger vans were distributed by Chrysler de México, branded as Dodge.
Isuzu Motors, Ltd.
Isuzu Motors de México started operations in November 2005, thanks to the Economic Partnership Agreement that had been signed by Mexico and Japan. Isuzu is the first Japanese commercial vehicle manufacturer to enter Mexico, and it is a joint venture between Isuzu Motors Limited (51%) and Mitsubishi Corporation (49%). The company started sales with the ELF in 3 different versions: ELF 300 with payload capacity of 3.4 tons, ELF 400 with a 4-ton payload and ELF 450 with a 4.5 ton capacity. Since then the brand has expanded throughout the country, as of 2008 has 27 dealers and will start assembly operations for the model ELF 600 in 2009.
GM Mexico sold an Isuzu pick-up truck as the Chevrolet Luv, imported from Chile (GM Chile). There was a Single Cab and a Crew Cab 4x2 model with a 2.3 cc Petrol engine. It was the first South American compact truck (before the Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux from Argentina).
Jaguar Land Rover
- Brands Jaguar Cars and Land Rover.
The X-Type is the most successful Jaguar in the country with a price of US$40,000. Less than 1000 Jaguars are sold per year however as the company has faced stiff competition from Mercedes Benz and BMW, which have domestic manufacturing facilities in Mexico. The SUV maker Land Rover is very popular among the middle and high classes in Mexico. The LR3 and the Freelander are the most successful models.
Mazda Motor Corporation
Mazda was introduced in Mexico in November 2005 with the release of the then current Mazda3 and Mazda6 models.
While it was common to spot imported B2000 pick-ups and 626 sedans on the streets, Mazda vehicles were virtually unknown in Mexico. When the Mazda3 was introduced, both hatchback and notchback versions became a success among youngsters.
Throughout 2007 and 2008, Mazda fulfilled most of its clients' requests by presenting the MPV Mazda5, the SUVs CX-7 and CX-9, and the popular roadster, the Miata, rebadged MX-5. Though the coupé, the RX-8, had been considered, the modifications needed to achieve good performance in the Valley of Mexico led to the idea being dropped. The only RX-8 delivered by Mazda Motor de México to an individual was raffled by Mazda itself in 2008.
The new generation Mazda3 and the CX-7 have kept Mazda among the most successful brands in Mexico; Mazda6 and MX-5 maintain regular sales, while Mazda5 and CX-9 have the weakest.
McLaren Automotive
McLaren Automotive entered the Mexican market in 2015 by opening its first dealership in the capital city Mexico City (Santa Fe). One year later they opened a second dealership in León, Guanajuato to serve León and the rest of the bajio region.
Mercedes-Benz
See: Mercedes-Benz Mexico
PSA Peugeot Citroën
- Brands Peugeot, Opel and a vehicle by Citroën.
Peugeot returned to Mexico in 1997 with the 306 Saloon. The 206 has had very good sales despite having the Renault Clio as a tough competitor. Peugeots rank high in sales mostly because of their design.
Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance (Renault S.A., Mitsubishi Motors and Nissan Motor Company, Ltd.)
- Brands Nissan, Mitsubishi and Renault, and vehicles by Dacia, Infiniti and Samsung.
Nissan is a well-known carmaker in Mexico and number one in sales thanks largely[17] to its model Tsuru II, based on the 1991–94 Sentra and being facelifted every four years. The Tsuru III's driveline currently uses Renault-sourced parts, which are locally manufactured. This car is especially prized by taxicab companies for being affordable (around $131,000 MXN or $9500 USD), strong, spacious, fast and trustworthy. This has kept it in the number one sales position since the 90s, and that has kept Nissan at the top of the sales rankings in the country. With the Renault-Nissan Alliance, Nissan México designed the Platina, based on the Renault Clio Symbol. The Platina was an option for Mexican families who wanted more space for a smaller price. Nissan Mexicana sold the Dacia Logan (made by Renault Brazil) as the Nissan Aprio. Nissan also sells one Infiniti model.
First established in 1959, Renault was quite successful in Mexico during the late 70s and early 80s with their R5 (nicknamed "zapatito" or "little shoe") and R12. The French pronunciation of the marque was mis-conceived as "Reh-nol", "Roh-nol" and even "Roh-ñol". Renault's Mexican assembly was carried out by DINA S.A.[18] Renault remained successful until 1986 when it left the country because of financial reasons.
Following in the footsteps of Peugeot, Renault returned to Mexico in late 1999 via the Mexican Auto Show (then Autoexpo) of 1999, where they offered the first generation Mégane Scénic's (or simply Scénic) for test-drives — a model seen for the first time at the Auto Show. This vehicle, known for being the first mid-size MPV, was introduced in 2000 and was received warmly by the Mexican buyers. The small family sedan Mégane followed the next year, along with their best seller Clio's sporty version, the Clio II Renault Sport. Regarding the success of the hot hatch, Renault decided to present for sale in Mexico their Mexican-made Clio II, featuring the 2001 restyling (though the 1998 type original dashboard remained), dark gray rims and a unique 1.6i—mounted on other Renaults in order to resist Mexico's central states' heights. The Nissan factory in Aguascalientes was used for the assembly of the Clio, the Platina (Nissan's Clio sedan version) and, formerly, the previous Scénic. The facelifted Clio was introduced in late 2006 featuring a new front and rear end and new interior design (from the European 2001 version). It was planned for it to remain on sale, as in most countries, until 2010. Ironically, the Clio outlasted this new Clio II's presence on the Mexican market. It is now one of the two remaining French Renault models, since the Mégane II hatch production ended in Spain. Korean Koleos, Safrane, and Fluence, and the Colombian Sandero were expected to replace all French models by 2012.
Mitsubishi entered Mexico in 2003 with the previous Galant and Montero. Mitsubishi has had success with the SUVs Endeavor and Outlander, and, recently with the Lancer.
Suzuki Motor Corporation
Suzuki came to Mexico in 2005 thanks to the free trade agreement between Japan and Mexico in October of that year. The first dealer began by selling two models: Model year 2006 Grand Vitara V6 and the four-door Aerio. The current dealer network consists of 40 agencies spanning the length and breadth of the country. The Grand Vitara is still doing great and inspired Suzuki to import the Swift, which has also been a successful model. As of 2012, Suzuki of México offered a total of five products with many different options: Swift GL MT, GLS MT & GLS AT, SX4 Crossover MT & CVT, SX4 Sedán MT & CVT, Kizashi CVT and Grand Vitara GL AT, Grand Vitara HIMALAYA AT, GLS AT & 4X4 AT.
Toyota Motor Corporation
Toyota officially entered Mexico in early 2002 with the Camry and Corolla. The carmaker was already known in the country for the pick-ups and cars imported from the United States before it officially entered Mexico. The Tacoma is built in manufacturing plants in Tecate, Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico and San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A. The Corolla and the RAV4 are very successful in Mexico as in the rest of the world.
Volkswagen Group
- Brands Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, SEAT, Porsche and Volkswagen.
Volkswagen is a sales leader in Mexico, just behind Nissan and GM. The commercial success of the Pointer, Jetta and Lupo models have helped Volkswagen's sales. Volkswagen hasn't introduced the ultra-luxury brand Bugatti in Mexico (which may only be bought through specialist car dealers in major cities such as Mexico City with reports of at least 2 Bugatti being imported from the US), however, even though Audi and Bentley are selling well in Mexico, they are not as common as VW due to the fact they are more expensive. Lamborghini de Mexico officially entered the Mexican car market in 2010 with the opening of a dealership in Mexico City.
Audis are very popular amongst Mexican youths and business people. The most successful models are the A4 sedan and the A3 Sportback.
The Spanish carmaker SEAT arrived in Mexico in 2001 with the Ibiza. The brand has been very successful with the strong sellers being the Ibiza and the León (new 1.4 and 1.8 TSi variants have been recently introduced). The Seat Córdoba will be produced starting next year in the Volkswagen assembly plant in Puebla, as the 2.0 Tiptronic variant.
Volkswagen was introduced in Mexico in 1954 with the offering of the popular Beetle. A major investor in the Volkswagen de Mexico dealership was Prince Alfonso of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. The Type 1 was officially called Sedán and commonly called "Vocho" as an abbreviation of Volkswagen.
Volkswagen recently introduced the Jetta TDi with a 1.9 Diesel engine. It is the second diesel-engineered car in Mexico since the Volkswagen Caribe Diesel (1979–1983), which was slow-selling in this country. Unfortunately the sales of the Jetta TDi (unlike the huge number of sales of the 2.0i edition) have been small, encouraging its end in this country. VW is trying to convince government and environmental authorities of the advantages of using diesel and to encourage the reduction of taxes and other stimuli to increase the sales of the TDi.
VW has factories in Cuautlancingo (in Puebla) and Silao,[9] and uses rail, trucks and the ports of Veracruz and Lázaro Cárdenas for imports and exports.[10]
Porsche is also sold in Mexico although it is supplied directly by Porsche and not through VW due to the fact Porsche was once an independent company before it was bought by VW and VW has not yet merged the two supply chains.[citation needed]

Hacedores desaparecidos
Few are the mainstream makers that have not official representation in Mexico but all of their models can be imported through exotic car dealers located mostly in Mexico City, Puebla, Veracruz, Mérida, Monterrey and Guadalajara.
Citroën
Some people have begun to import C4 models to Mexican streets. There is a small unofficial importer in the Interlomas section in Mexico State just bordering Mexico City. The French maker has not made an official announcement or pointed out plans for entering the Mexican market in the near future, and remains one of the few countries in the world (along with the United States and Canada) where Citroën cars are not available.
Lancia
Lancia models were presented at the 2003 Mexican Autoshow, though dealerships have not yet opened in the country. The next generation Delta however and Lancia's opening for new Latin American markets gives a wide possibility the maker will be selling by 2009.
Lexus
After many false rumours in more than one decade, an official entry programmed for the final quarter of 2021, in September 2021, with vehicles of the 2022 model year.[47] The reason for this is to allow Lexus apply a marketing strategy and have time to make necessary adjustments to suspension and motor to all of its vehicles, to offer characteristic comfort of the brand in Mexico. The confirmed models for Mexico are the Lexus LS500h (hybrid), along with the ES, RX, LX, and UX, all of these models will be additionally offered in hybrid versions, as Lexus will find the most "green" lineup in the luxury segment in Mexico to offer all of its models with a hybrid variant. Once the brand arrives to Mexico, five agencies in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey will be opened, and the agencies will focus on creating a purchase experience to all of their clients. However, the sport F range of cars is not confirmed, but there will be plans to launch it. Finally, in late 2021, a factory plant will begin to operate in Guanajuato, where the Toyota Tacoma is built. In addition, the Lexus brand will be an independent division which will get help from Toyota de Mexico, and additional help from TMNA and Lexus USA (its home market).
Maybach

- 62
Rolls Royce
The Phantom is the only model available at the moment, it has a cost of $415,000 US dollars. However it is known that several varieties of Rolls-Royces are owned throughout the country, these were individually imported.
- Phantom
Saleen
Saleen has no official subsidiary in Mexico, but they are imported through an official representative importer.
- S7
Scion
Toyota's youth line has not been introduced to the Mexican market. So far, there are no dates announced, even after the brand's discontinuation in 2016.
Škoda
Volkswagen and certain European car distributors import Skodas, but with the process, this economy line turns out to be more expensive than other higher end cars, making its purchase unattractive.
