First Top 20 finish for the Mitsubishi Colt.

23,008 new cars hit Austrian roads in November, a fantastic 20.5% year-on-year improvement. The year-to-date volume is now up 13.1% to 262,602. Volkswagen (+46.8%) plays a big role in the market’s overall rise, climbing to 16.8% share vs. 14.4% so far this year. This is the carmaker’s highest share since May 2024. Skoda (+3.9%) is more modest in 2nd place while BMW (-3.6%) actually falls. Hyundai (+119.6%) shoots up 10 spots on last month to #4. Seat (+63.4%) and Dacia (+21.8%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10. In contrast Cupra (-23.7%) and Tesla (-7.7%) disappoint. BYD is up 64.3% to #14.

Model-wise, the Skoda Octavia (-7.2%) stays on top despite going against the positive market. It is followed by three Volkswagens: the Golf (+20.4%), Polo (+145.9%) and Tiguan (+29.5%). The new Dacia Bigster is back inside the Austrian Top 5 for the third time and breaks into the YTD Top 20 at #18. Below the BMW X1 (+4.8%), the Mitsubishi Colt (+542.6%) – a rebadged Renault Clio – scores its first Top 20 finish, landing directly at #7. The Hyundai i10 (#11) and MG ZS (#12) also impress.
