New car sales in Lithuania are up by a very robust 19% year-on-year in January to 1.829 units. Best-seller here for the past five consecutive years, the Fiat 500 has the guts to even outpace the market this month with a 46% year-on-year improvement leading to a 10.2% market share. That’s still leaps and bounds above the competition, with its direct follower being the Toyota RAV4 surging up 356% on January 2015 to 4.5% share, just above the VW Tiguan at 4.4% (+220%), the Skoda Octavia at 4.3% (+70%), VW Passat at 4% (+135%) and Toyota Auris at 3.2% (+176%). Inside the Top 10, the Skoda Superb (+129%) and Kia Sportage (+117%) also more than double their sales year-on-year.
