Romania November 2023: Hyundai Tucson (+44.3%), Ford Puma (+68.3%) push Dacia Jogger down

The Hyundai Tucson repeats at #5 in November.

11,134 new cars hit Romanian roads in November, a slim 0.5% year-on-year uptick. The year-to-date tally is now up 14% to 133,238. Dacia (-8.1%) doesn’t agree with the positive market and sees its share thin to 31% vs. 31.9% year-to-date. Toyota (-9.8%) repeats at #2 with 8% share vs. 7.3% so far this year, keeping Renault (+11.7%) at #3. Hyundai (+3.2%) advances two spots on October to #4 with 7.3% share vs. 6.1% YTD. Mercedes (+45.9%) and BMW (+40.6%) are the best performers in the Top 10 and end the month at #8 and #10 respectively. Below, Tesla (+760.9%) stays at #13 with Porsche (+108.7%), Fiat (+83.3%), Kia (+81.4%), Cupra (+76.5%) and Ssangyong (+50.5%) also in great shape.

The usual four Dacias top the November charts: the Logan is in the lead with 9.2% share vs. 9.9% so far this year, followed by the Sandero (+26.7%) at 8.3% and the Duster (-40.1%) in trouble at 6.5%. The Spring (+24%) advances to 5.1% share. For the third month in a row, the Jogger doesn’t appear at its traditional 5th spot, or the ranking it holds year-to-date, and is down -22.6% to #8 in November. This allows some other models to slide in: the Hyundai Tucson (+44.3%) repeats at #5 with 3.4% share, well above the 2% it commands year-to-date, while the Toyota C-HR (+39.1%) ranks 6th again and the Ford Puma (+68.3%) is up two spots on last month to #7. Below, notice the Kia Sportage (+143.8%), Ford Kuga (+56.6%), Renault Arkana (+87.2%), Skoda Kamiq (+171.7%) and Tesla Model Y (+1145.5%) all in fantastic shape.
