According to data published by our Central European market data partner CE Auto, new car sales in Moldova bounce up 54% year-on-year in July to 468 registrations, lifting the year-to-date tally up 29% to 2.751 units. This month the Dacia Sandero comes out of nowhere (namely outside the Top 10) to directly land in pole position with just under 10% of the market. The Romanian hatchback doesn’t rank in the YTD Top 10 however. The Hyundai Tucson posts an outstanding month at 9.2% share (+139%) and so does the Skoda Octavia at 6.4% (+150%). Traditional leader in Moldova, the Dacia Logan (-17%) is knocked down to 4th place but retains the YTD lead for now, but only 15 units above the Hyundai Tucson. The Kia Sportage also makes a rare appearance inside the Moldovan Top 10 at #5 while the Skoda Kodiaq breaks into the Top 10 for the first time at #10.
