Slovakia Car Sales : 2025











Registrations were 93,100 for the year, which was the same as last year. Comparing 2025 with the average for the previous ten years shows an increase of 7%. So it was one of the highest totals ever.

Slovaks are partial to Škodas, with one in five cars sold here bearing that logo. A high percentage for an open market. They have been top of the list since becoming an independent Slovakia. 

Chinese brands have been slow in arriving, but that has just changed. The next step will be to make inroads into the market and how successful that will be remains to be seen. Slovakia has a large car manufacturing industry, so many locals will want to support that.

Liechtenstein Car Sales : 2025














This tiny principality of 40,000 people and 160 square kilometres or 62 square miles makes a living mainly manufacturing quality industrial goods and financial services. It obviously pays as can be seen by the best selling brands.

Registrations are down 11% in 2025. Compared to the previous ten year average, it was down  21% YTD. It is the lowest taol since 1976! I know, it's tragic that  have data going back that far. 

BMW is currently on top, a palce it last occupied in 2020. It has relative advantage over Mercedes and Audi but with such small numbers, change is a constant. VW was a long term leader here but this is the second year it has been back at fourth place.
