Bulgaria sales see a 5% year-on-year drop in June to an estimated 3.061 registrations, however the year-to-date total is still in positive halfway through 2016 at +6% to 15.524 units. Thanks to deliveries up 35% on June 2015, Dacia remains the most popular manufacturer in the country, followed by Renault (-9%), Skoda (+3%) and Volkswagen (-24%) while Ford (+14%) rounds up the Top 5. Nissan (+36%), Land Rover (+57%), Fiat (+31%) and Volvo (+38%) shine but Kia (-51%), Mazda (-25%), Audi (-16%), Great Wall (-84%) and Seat (-67%) struggle. In the models aisle, the Dacia Dokker is back to the pole position it holds year-to-date, ahead of the Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Octavia. The Opel Astra leaps 27 spots on May to #8 and the Renault Master is up 17 to #10.

A caveat to these results is the fact that Bulgaria sales figures are skewed by re-exports to other European Union countries, with a large portion of new car sales in the country never making it to local roads – as much as 20% – thanks to Bulgaria displaying some of the lowest car prices in the EU. See here for more on this phenomenon.

The Bulgarian new car market is up 15% year-on-year in May to an estimated 2.826 registrations, lifting the year-to-date total up 9% to 12.463. Keep in mind sales data for Bulgaria is always to be taken with a pinch of salt as an estimated 25 to 30% of volumes get re-exported to other European countries and never sees domestic roads. In this context, Dacia reclaims the top of the brands ranking off sister brand Renault both in May with 12.3% share vs. 11.8% and year-to-date at 1.574 vs. 1.566 sales, both manufacturers holding a 12.6% market share. Skoda (+20%) and Toyota (+68%) overtake Ford (-5%) while Volkswagen tumbles down 25% to #$6. Nissan (+37%), Seat (+420%) and Land Rover (+60%) shine. The Renault Clio and Dacia Dokker remain the most popular nameplates in the country, followed this time by the Nissan Qashqai, Skoda Octavia and Dacia Duster. Strong showing by the Renault Kadjar at #19.

The Bulgarian new car market is in great shape at +15% in February to an estimated 2.177 registrations, lifting the year-to-date total to 4.073 units, up 7% on the same period in 2015. Firstly the usual caveat to Bulgarian data which are significantly skewed by re-exports to other European Union countries. A large portion of new deliveries never makes it to local roads – as much as 30% – thanks to Bulgaria displaying some of the lowest car prices in the EU. See here for more on this phenomenon. Despite sales down 3% on February 2015, Dacia remains the most popular manufacturer in the country with 12.2% share, ahead of parent brand Renault back up 70% to #2 and Toyota up 39% to #3. Skoda drops two spots to #4 and Volkswagen crumbles down 24% to #5. Nissan (+101%), Mazda (+110%) and Chinese carmaker and local assembler Great Wall (+130%) impress this month. Model-wise, the Dacia Dokker remains solidly installed in pole position with 6% share above the Skoda Octavia and Renault Captur, with the Nissan Qashqai shooting back up 12 spots on January to #4 and the Toyota Hilux up 15 to #5.

The Bulgarian new car market is stable year-on-year in January at an estimated 1.896 registrations. Firstly the usual caveat to Bulgarian data which are significantly skewed by re-exports to other European Union countries. A large portion of new deliveries never makes it to local roads – as much as 30% – thanks to Bulgaria displaying some of the lowest car prices in the EU. See here for more on this phenomenon. Dacia surges 137% year-on-year to cement its leadership of the market at 336 sales and 17.7% share above Skoda (-14%), Volkswagen (-15%) and Toyota (-10%) while Peugeot gains 26% and Renault sinks at -58%. Notice also Land Rover up 150%, Honda up 62% and Suzuki up 90%. Model-wise, the Dacia Dokker is faithful to its throne, ahead of the Skoda Octavia, Dacia Duster and Renault Captur with the Peugeot 308 (+20), Ford Transit (+12) and Nissan X-Trail (+23) posting much higher rankings than their FY2015 levels.
