Colombia automotive market sees surge in SUV demand

The Colombian automotive market is experiencing significant growth, particularly within the SUV segment. According to reports from Fenalco and ANDI, new vehicle registrations in September 2026 reached 33,835 units, marking a 36.1% increase compared to the same month in 2025. This represents the highest monthly registration figure since 2014.

SUV sales led this expansion with a 64.1% increase year-over-year. This trend has driven demand for versatile vehicles capable of navigating both urban environments and unpaved regional roads. Compact SUVs have become increasingly popular due to their balance of interior space, ground clearance, and maintenance costs.

In response to these shifting mobility needs, Continental has introduced the TerrainContact A/T2 tire in Colombia. This All-Terrain tire is designed to support drivers who alternate between city commuting and off-road travel, utilizing TractionPlus+ technology to improve grip on wet surfaces and off-road terrain while reducing road noise.
