Moldova February 2026: Geely EX5 storms into pole position

Surprise in Moldova: the Geely EX5 is the best-selling vehicle in February.

Based on data by our local partner CE Auto, the Moldovan new car market surges 25.9% year-on-year in February to 826 sales. The year-to-date tally is now up 14.4% to 1,424 units. We have a big surprise atop the models charts: for its very first Top 10 finish the Geely EX5 is the overall best-seller with 6.5% share. It even climbs to 2nd place in the YTD charts. This is the first time a Chinese model is #1 in Moldova. The EX5 knocks down traditional leader the Toyota RAV4 (+55.2%) despite the latter sporting a significant YoY gain. In third place, the BYD Song Plus (+113.3%) hits its highest ranking since January 2025 (#2). The BAIC X7 scores its first ever Top 10 finish at #8. Along with the Geely Coolray and Cityray there are five Chinese nameplates in this month’s Top 10.
