The Skoda Karoq is #1 at home in August.

17,084 new cars hit Czech roads in August, off -8.7% year-on-year. Positive YTD tally however at +2.3% and 153,757 units. Local powerhouse Skoda (-1.6%) falls slower than its home market to achieve a 33.8% share, slightly up from its YTD level of 33.3%. Toyota (-6.7%) also resists somewhat to 9.5% share, one percentage point above YTD. For Hyundai (-33.4%) and Volkswagen (-43.4%) the fall is drastic. Kia (-8.3%) almost matches the market at #5 ahead of a surging Dacia (+25.3%). Opel (+96.3%), Peugeot (+17.4%) and Ford (+14.6%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10. 

The Skoda Karoq (+84.5%) takes the lead of the Czech models ranking in August with a splendid 7.3% share vs. 4.4% year-to-date. This is the Karoq’s second ever win at home after May 2022. A freefalling Skoda Octavia (-37.7%) follows but easily holds onto the year-to-date charts with 9% share. The Skoda Kodiaq (+52.5%) stays at #3 with a splendid year-on-year evolution, with the Scala (-0.6%) stable and Fabia (-17.4%) weak making it five Skodas in the Top 5. The Hyundai i30 (-22.9%) is the best of the rest as it is also year-to-date. Excellent scores by the Opel Crossland (+1078.3%), Toyota Proace City (+136.4%) and Ford Kuga (+124.7%).
