The Swiss new car market starts the year down 4% on 2013 in January to 20,214 registrations, and it’s a very eventful month in the models ranking indeed. The Skoda Octavia passes the VW Golf to claim the pole position for the 6th time in the last 17 months with 722 sales and 3.6% share vs. 699 and 3.5% for the Golf. Below the BMW 3 Series up 3 spots on December to #3 and the VW Tiguan stable at #4, we find the Suzuki SX4 back up 4 ranks to #5, the 4th time in the last 5 months it ranks within the 6 best-sellers in Switzerland! Thank you S-Cross. But wait the biggest surprises are still to come…
