Poland November 2019: Toyota Corolla #1 for 7th month in a row, Skoda Kamiq shoots up

The Skoda Kamiq enters the Polish Top 30 in November.

New vehicle sales in Poland edge up 2% year-on-year in November to 50.731 registrations including light commercials, leading to a year-to-date tally up 3% to 564.952. Once again the passenger cars market is more vigorous at +5.7% to 44.633 units with a year-to-date volume now up 3.7% to  493.107. The brands podium remains unchanged on October and YTD with Skoda (-9.6%) in the lead despite a steep fall while Toyota (+40.2%) surges to score the largest gain in the Top 6 ahead of Volkswagen (-12.7%) in dire straits also. Mazda (+94.4%) is the most dynamic in the Top 10 for the second month running, with Fiat (+44%), Kia (+14.5%) and Renault (+11.4%) also impressive with double-digit gains, something that BMW (+10.5%) also achieves further down.

Model-wise, it’s a 7th consecutive month in pole position for the Toyota Corolla (+295.4%), keeping the Skoda Octavia (-15%) and Fabia (-15.2%) at bay but the launch of the new generation occurred too late in the year to enable the Corolla to snap the annual top spot, it currently ranks #2 with an unassailable 962-sales gap with the #1, the Skoda Octavia. The Fiat Tipo (+97%), VW Tiguan (+54.8%), Toyota Yaris (+45.3%), Opel Astra (+26.8%) and Dacia Duster (+11.3%) also post spectacular gains in the remainder of the Top 10, whereas the VW Golf (-30.9%) and Renault Clio (-12.9%) implode. Among recent launches, the Skoda Scala is up one spot on last month to #13, and the Skoda Kamiq breaks into the Top 50 at #26. The Seat Arona and VW Arteon make it into the passenger cars Top 50.
