After artificially soaring 58.5% in August due to pre-WLTP registrations, new car sales in Lithuania post a surprisingly measured drop in September at -8.3% to 2.279 units, the lowest of the three Baltic states, leading to a year-to-date volume up 27% to 24.328. This is according to data shared with us by our partner JATO Dynamics. The Fiat 500 (-14%) holds onto the models pole position at 19.6% share vs. 14.8% so far this year, but the surprise of the month is the 223% year-on-year surge of the Toyota C-HR leaping up to a record 2nd place, distancing the Fiat Tipo (+19%) and Toyota Auris (+209%) also posting a stunning gain, as does the Toyota RAV4 (+33%) bu the Nissan Qashqai (-84%), VW Golf (-77%), Passat (-71%) and Fiat 500X (-68%) all implode.

As a traditionally strong user of re-exports, Lithuania is logically caught into the pre-WLTP stock clearance game more than its Baltic neighbours, with August registrations artificially up 58.5% year-on-year to 3.308 leading to a year-to-date tally up 32.2% to 22.049. The Fiat 500 is up 144% to an out-of-this-world but totally artificial 23% market share vs. 14.3% so far in 2018, the Nissan Qashqai is up 349% to 8% share vs. 3.3% YTD and up from #8 to #5 in 2018, the Fiat Tipo is up 800% to 7.1% vs. 5.6% YTD, the Fiat 500X up 233% to 4.8% vs. 5.1% and the Toyota Auris up 96% to #5 vs. #9 so far in 2018.

Thanks to our partnership with JATO Dynamics, we can share with you today Lithuanian new car sales for January, up 15.4% year-on-year to 2.111 registrations.

The Toyota Avensis gains 59% to #7 and the Skoda Kodiaq also appears in the Lithuanian Top 10 for the first time at #9.

The Lithuanian new car market shoots up 27.5% year-on-year in 2017 to 25.865 registrations, however an estimated 20 to 30% of all new cars registered in this market are immediately re-exported to other European Union markets due to their low selling price here.

The Skoda Octavia (+33%) and VW Passat (+28%) camp on their positions at #3 and #4 respectively but the Nissan Qashqai (+2%) is down four spots to #6.
