The Renault Captur is only 15 sales below the Skoda Octavia year-to-date.

5,118 new cars found a buyer in Slovenia in May, a satisfying 5.2% year-on-year uptick. The year-to-date volume is also in positive at +6.1% to 24,983. Both Volkswagen (-9%) and Renault (-5,.3%) don’t benefit from the market growth but top the brands charts. In contrast Skoda (+41.4%) and Hyundai (+37.7%) both shoot up below. But the most dynamic carmaker in the Top 10 is without a doubt Ford, up 193.5% to #7. Dacia (+11.3%) and Audi (+10.1%) also beat the market in the remainder of the Top 10. Further down, Cupra (+86.5%), Opel (+64.4%) and Mazda (+50%) stand out.

As for models, the Renault Clio (+45.5%) rallies back up four spots on April to land its first victory since last February. It is however stuck in third place year-to-date whereas it led the overall charts over the Full Year 2024. The Renault Captur (+5%) follows and is getting a lot closer to the Skoda Octavia (+88.7%) in the year-to-date ranking: only 15 units separate the two models. The Octavia is down two ranks on last month to #3. Below the VW Tiguan (-2.4%), the Hyundai Tucson (+51.9%) surges to #5 ahead of the Citroen C3 (+5.3%) and Skoda Kodiaq (+31.5%). The Toyota Yaris Cross (+14.1%) and Dacia Duster (+11.2%) also shine below.
