Over the first half of June, 507 new vehicles found a buyer in Iceland and given the small size of the market, the Icelandic models ranking is always full of surprises. This time we welcome the Toyota Land Cruiser 150 (aka Prado) in pole position with 34 sales and 6.7% share vs. 4% year-to-date, followed closely by the VW Polo at 33 units and 6.5% (vs. 3.4% YTD) and the VW Golf with 32 sales and 6.3% (vs. 4.7%). The Chevrolet Cruze also jumps up to #4 at 31 units and 6.1% share, more than double its year-to-date level of 3%.

Skoda Rapid

Further down, notice the Hyundai i20 up 14 spots on May to #7, the Kia Cee’d up 12 to #8, the Skoda Rapid flamboyantly breaking into the Icelandic Top 10 at #9 with 19 sales and 3.7% and the brand’s best-seller over the period, way above the Octavia, down to #19 but still #1 year-to-date… The Suzuki Jimny at #11 and Toyota Corolla at #17 make their reappearance in the Icelandic Top 30. Brand-wise (yes! I now offer you brand rankings for Iceland), Toyota is in the lead with 18.3% of the market ahead of Volkswagen at 16.2% and Chevrolet at 13.6%.
