Estonia Car/LCV Sales : 2025

Registrations were down 49% in 2025. This is due to a tax on cars introduced in 2025. In 2024, registrations were poor early in the year, then took off toward the end of the year. December was up 105% as people understandably acted to avoid the price rise. The total year was only up 12%, showing how low the earlier part of the year was.

Virtually no brand had an increase in sales but as the chart shows market share movement, it does show those who gained something in challenging circumstances.

Toyota lost the top spot to Škoda last year but has taken the lead back in 2025. Renault jumped two places to third, Volkswagen slipped to third, just ahead of Dacia and Kia. The top six on 2024 are the same, just stacked slightly differently. 

BYD did well to arrive at 18th. Ferrari sold 18 cars in December alone, which was over half the total for the year and up over 100% in volume.

Türkiye Car/LCV Sales : 2025

Registrations were up 11% in 2025, a record at 1,084,500 units. Registrations are booming with 2025 being up 60% on the average for the previous ten years. Local manufacturers enjoy some protection and they dominate the higher end of the chart. 

With that healthy increase, many increased sales but lost market share. The Share column highlights which ones won (green shading) or lost (yellow shading) in that regard.

Renault and Fiat have been exchanging top spot for the last few years. Fiat has dropped down to fourth so Renault is now clearly ahead of Fiat and the rest. It seems Renault is selling the Dacia Duster (photo below data) as its own model in Türkiye. That will help Renault maintain a strong position in the market. 

Toyota is making a concerted effort to bridge the gap, up from seventh last year. BYD is up to ninth while MG took a dive. Local brand Togg (picture above) is doing well despite only starting to sell vehicles in 2023.

Mazda isn't in Türkiye because the e-call (emergency call) system used in cars, requires the SIM card to be used but Mazda was unable or unwilling to meet this requirement so it is not possible for the vehicles to be sold here. It sounds rather strange.

Netherlands Passenger Car Sales : 2025

Registrations were up 3% in 2025 so very steady at 391,000. It was 1% up on the average for the last ten years! That's very consistent. Despite the total sales evenness, change with in the market can be extremely variable. 

Looking at the movement in the Ranking and +/- columns, things are fluid. Some of that may be down to periodic changes to incentives and perhaps a penchant for the new and interesting. 

Kia first went to the top in 2022 for a one off success, then returned in 2024. It has established an overwhelmingly strong case for remaining there for 2026. 

With the Netherlands encouraging electric cars, one may have expected more from some of them. Tesla is down at 10th after finishing 4th in 2024. Where are the Chinese brands that have put so much into electric cars? Well, they aren't proving as popular in the Netherlands as they could have, so far at least.
