New car sales in Slovakia are satisfyingly (in the current European context) up by 0.7% year-on-year in April to 5,835 registrations, however the year-to-date total is still down by 9% at 20,267 units. If last month the Skoda Rapid created the surprise by taking the lead of the sales charts, in May the ranking is back to “normal”, with the Skoda Fabia in pole position at 364 sales and 6.2% ahead of the Skoda Octavia II with 205 units and 3.5% while the Rapid rounds up the podium at 200 sales and 3.4%.

The Suzuki SX4 is back up to #4 and 3.2% share, we welcome the Skoda Octavia III (sales of different generations are split in Slovakia) at an estimated 7th place with 146 sales and 2.5% (note even when adding up the two generations of Octavia it would still be #2 behind the Fabia), the VW Polo is up to #11, the Honda CR-V up to #12 and the  Suzuki Swift up to #14.
