The Slovenian new car market suffers once again in October at -18% year-on-year to 3,738 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 42,445 units, down 17% on 2011. For the third consecutive month and the 8th time this year, the Renault Clio is in the lead with 245 sales and 6.6% share, followed this time by the VW Polo at 184 units and 4.9%. Both models are largely above their 2012 year-to-date levels of 5.7% and 3.7% respectively. The Renault Megane, still #2 year-to-date at 1,728 sales and 4.1%, is down to #9 this month.

The big event on the Slovenian models ranking podium is the arrival for the first time of the Peugeot 208 thanks to 155 sales and 4.1%, up 4 spots and 80% on September and behaving similarly to neighbouring Croatia where it ranks #1 this month. Other great performers include the Skoda Fabia up 26 ranks to #4, the Fiat Panda up 24 to #5, Kia Sportage up 21 to #7, Ford Fiesta up 10 to #8, Peugeot 3008 up 18 to #16, Dacia Duster up 40 to #29, Peugeot 5008 up 27 to #30 and the Skoda Citigo up 31 to #33.
