Citroen sales are up 5-fold year-on-year in October.

The Croatian new car market soars 18.3% year-on-year in October to 5,158 units. This is a particularly good result given October 2024 was already up 18.3% (yes) over the year prior. The year-to-date tally is now up 8.5% to 60,896. According to our records, this is the highest ever volume in the country after 10 months. The Top 3 brands outpace the market. Volkswagen (+64.5%) scores its first win since last May and reaches 16% share, the carmaker’s highest since June 2023. It however remains #2 year-to-date below Skoda (+31.4%) down to #2 for the month. Opel (+107.7%) continues to surge at #3 with YTD sales up 55.6%. Toyota (+2.1%), Suzuki (+6.6%) and Renault (+8.2%) are a lot more discreet while Dacia (-29.2%), Audi (-5.5%) and Hyundai (-4.2%) actually drop.

Model-wise, the Skoda Octavia (+4.8%) remains in the pole position but is relatively weak year-on-year.

The VW T-Roc (+267.6%) takes off thanks to promotions on the outgoing generation while the Skoda Kamiq (+61%) is up four spots on last month to #5.
