Ireland June 2024: Tesla up to 34.3% share, Model 3 and Y on top

The Tesla Model 3 holds 19.4% of the Irish new car market in June.

Registrations thin out before the biannual licence plate change of July, and June Irish sales sink -50.2% year-on-year to just 1,490. The year-to-date tally remains in positive however at +1.7% to 78,932. As it was the case a year ago, Tesla (-50.6%) overwhelms the brands charts with a suffocating 34.3% share as it follows the market evolution. Toyota (-45.5%) is far below at 13.1% share in 2nd place, distancing Volkswagen (-62%) at 8.8%. Toyota (+6.4%) stays at #1 year-to-date while Tesla (-26.2%) can’t do better than #16. Kia (+37.2%) stands out with a stellar year-on-year lift but at 4% share it is well below its YTD level of 7.1%.

In the models charts, as expected the Tesla Model 3 (-25.1%) and Model Y (-65.8%) are ultra dominant at 19.4% and 14.9% share respectively. The Toyota Yaris Cross (-19.4%) advances two spots on last month to #3, ahead of the Skoda Octavia (-20%). The Toyota Corolla (+2.7%) and Kia Sportage (+117.6%) go against the negative market but remain at low volumes.
