For the 1970–1991 period, the data is for USSR which Lithuania belonged to then, and Lada models reigned supreme. From 2006 onwards we have specific data for Lithuania, and as it is the case with neighbouring Estonia and Latvia, the Lithuanian models ranking has been relatively volatile over the period, with only the Skoda Octavia (2007-2008), Fiat 500 (between 2012 and 2020) and Toyota RAV4 (2021 and 2022) managing to hold onto their crown for more than one year.
