Over the first half of August, 282 new cars found a buyer in Iceland, which is 22% less than last month. So far in 2012 there were 6,043 new registrations.

Off the 34 Yaris sold, 19 were Hybrid, definitely a format that is gaining a few fans in Iceland.

In fact the entire Top 4 best-selling models are identical to the 2012 year-to-date ranking, with the Skoda Octavia taking the 2nd spot with 8.2% share, followed by the VW Polo and Toyota Land Cruiser 150 both at 4.2% share. Great performers over the period include the Toyota Hilux at #5 with 10 sales, the Kia Cee’d at #6, the Chevrolet Aveo at #7 (vs. #34 year-to-date), the Toyota RAV4 at #10 (vs. #16), the Mitsubishi Pajero at #11 (vs. #25) and the Mitsubishi i-MiEV at #15 with 5 units sold.
