The Latvian new car market is down a harsh 15% year-on-year in August to 911 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 8,109 units, down 7% on 2012. Sales charts in Latvia are traditionally very volatile given the size of the market, and August is no exception: the entire Top 5 is renewed this month! The VW Caddy performs the best, up 22 ranks on July to land in pole position thanks to 32 sales and 3.5% share. It is followed by the Nissan Juke up 7 to #2 and 3.3% and the Dacia Duster up 23 to #3 and 3.2%. The Peugeot Bipper is up to #4 at 2.6% share, above the Hyundai i30 up 16 to #5 and the Toyota RAV4 down one to #6. Notice also the Skoda Octavia up 13 to #7 and the Nissan Primastar appearing at #13.
