Croatia January 2026: Audi up to record 6th place

Audi holds 4.9% of the Croatian market in January.

The Croatian new car market suffers in January at -11.5% year-on-year to 3,946 units. Skoda (-2.6%) and Volkswagen (-6.2%) both improve their share and are separated by only one sale. Toyota (+13.8%) defies the negative context at #3 like last month, followed by Suzuki (-25%) and Opel (-26.9%) both cratering. Audi (+9.7%) is the only gainer in the remainder of the Top 10, reaching a record 6th place (previous best: #7 in March 2025). Renault (-50.6%), Dacia (-49%), Ford (-30.7%) and Hyundai (-25%) are hit particularly hard below. MG (+120%), Forthing (+106.7%) and Volvo (+24.2%) shine.

Model-wise, the VW T-Cross (-27.8%) is the best-seller like one year ago but sees its sales plunge. The Skoda Octavia (-11.4%) follows the market at #2 while the Suzuki Vitara (-29.8%) is in trouble at #3. In contrast, the VW Tiguan (+37.3%), Skoda Kamiq (+25%) and Suzuki S-Cross (+16.7%) all deliver excellent performances. The MG ZS (+142.9%), Toyota Yaris (+121.7%) and Skoda Karoq (+97.1%) all impress.
