Based on data provided by SEMO Cyprus and analysed by INNOSOFT, the Cypriot new car market continues its run forward with sales up 54% year-on-year in May to 1.299 units, leading to a 45% improvement so far this year at 5.702 units in five months vs. 3.934 a year ago. The VW Golf soars to 11.2% share this month, allowing it to take the year-to-date lead with deliveries up a whopping 164% in 2016 to 390 nits and 6.8% share. Such uncharacteristic moves a reasonable way into the current generation of a nameplate traditionally means one thing: large rental orders. Meanwhile the Nissan Qahsqai and the Ford Fiesta remain on the podium, the Honda HR-V leaps to a record 5th spot, the VW Polo is up to #8 and the Seat Leon breaks into the year-to-date Top 30 thanks to sales up 10-fold on a year ago.
