Romania Passenger Car Sales : 2024 (Jan-Oct)











Registrations for October were up 1% and 3% YTD. Local brand Dacia is well ahead of any other although it has lost some market share. Toyota reached its best ever market share as it consolidated second spot while Renault bounced up in 2023 and back down this year.

Some popular models were the Dacia Logan (12,847), Dacia Duster (picture above - 12,173), Dacia Sandero (6,783), Škoda Octavia (3,461), Toyota Corolla (3,363), Dacia Jogger (3,091) and Hyundai Tucson (3,053).

Moldova Sales : 2023












I just noticed I haven't put out anything for Moldova since 2021. So while I don't get monthly data, I have annual registrations for 2023 so here it is. A 16% increase is the third consecutive gain and the best since 2008. 

Dacia took the lead here in 2010 from Lada and held that post until 2021 when Toyota took over. It's held that for three years with Škoda and Dacia ready to pounce if the chance comes their way.

Perú Car Sales : 2024 (Jan-Oct)













The source for Perú gives the top 25 brands and then the premium/luxury marques too. Registrations are down 10% YTD but were up 4% in October. As the +/- column below is based on market share, a loss of volume would be the case if a brand had an increase of less than 10%.  

Toyota remains top and comfortably so. Hyundai and Kia combined cannot make up the ground between them. Chinese brands are well established here with three in the top 10 and quite a few more just below that. There were less decreases in the premium end of the market.
