New car sales in Slovenia celebrates 10 consecutive months of year-on-year growth in January, up 6% to 4,646 registrations. And there’s a lot of movement in a models ranking traditionally relatively stable. Firstly, the VW Polo takes the lead for the first time in recent memory (after the Golf did just that last month) thanks to 225 sales and 4.8% share, followed by the VW Golf at 208 units and 4.5%. Then the Renault Captur shoots up 11 spots on December to land on the podium at #3, its best ranking so far in Slovenia and in fact its best ranking in the world this month (it is #5 in France), with 189 sales and 4.1% share. This would all be good and well, except it also means that for the very first time the Captur is above Slovenia’s perennial leader the Renault Clio, down to #5 and 4% this month. Notice also the Skoda Octavia at #4, Skoda Rapid at #7, Dacia Sandero at #11, VW Tiguan at #13 and Peugeot 2008 at #26.
