New car sales in Latvia are up a massive 24% year-on-year both in April at 1,229 registrations and year-to-date at 4,680 units, a great start of the year indeed for this market. Volkswagen confirms it is the favourite carmaker in the country with 17.8% share ahead of Toyota (14.8%) and Skoda (9.8%) and manages to place two models in the Top 2 spots this month: the Golf is up 10 ranks on March to #1 and the Passat is up 17 to #2. The Nissan Qashqai is down one spot to round up the podium while the Skoda Yeti remains 4th. The year-to-date ranking is completely different however, with the Toyota RAV4 still in the lead ahead of the Peugeot 3008 and Skoda Octavia.
