Domestic car sales rose 15.64% in September from a year earlier to 74,150 units, helped by an economic recovery and new car models, the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) said on Thursday.

That compared with August's 61.72% year-on-year jump. In the January to September period, car sales increased 19.13% from a year earlier.
