According to the Mexican Association of the Automotive Industry (AMIA), during the first three months of 2015 a total of 306,157 vehicles were sold in México, the highest number in the history of the domestic automotive industry for the first quarter.

The AMIA noted that the first quarter sales were up 21.9 percent over the first three months of 2014. The 21.9 percent increase is the highest percentage increase in the past 15 years, the AMIA said.
Guillermo Rosales, Director General of the Mexican Association of Automobile Dealers (AMDA), attributed that increase in sales to a lagging demand and better incentives offered by car dealers, such as more accessible credit, promotions and discounts.

The automaker that sold the highest number of vehicles during the first quarter was Nissan with 81,233 units sold, giving Nissan a 26.5 percent market share. General Motors came in second with 56,530 units sold and an18.5 percent market share. Volkswagen followed with 42,910 units sold and a 14 percent market share.
