Cyprus Passenger Car Sales : 2025 (Jan-Aug)

Registrations were down 5% for the YTD but passed 15,000 units. Kia took the lead from Toyota in 2021 and is now well clear of its rival. Hyundai has slipped into second albeit by a hair's breadth. VW has dropped a place in the ranking but is still in with a real chance to improve its ranking. 

Nissan isn't too far back in 5th but volumes fall away after that. Premium marques do quite well here with several in the top 20. I don't want to keep mentioning Chinese brands but they are moving quickly and aggressively. Here for now at least they haven't had much impact.

Bosnia-Herzegovina Car Sales : 2025 (Jan-July)

Registrations were up 22% for July and 10% YTD.  Considering that 2024 was well up on the historical average, that is a strong result. 

Škoda has been the top brand here for as long as I know and its current lead is substantial. VW has been perennially in second place behind Škoda, but maybe in 2025 Toyota will supplant it. Kia has dropped from 10th to 16th and Opel from 14th to 18th. Chery is the only Chinese brand in the top 20 and and only by a whisker.  

The top selling models were:

Škoda Octavia - 647

Škoda Fabia - 323 (photo above)

Sweden Passenger Car Sales : 2025 (Jan-Aug)

Registrations were up 6% for August and 7% YTD. 2024 was a poor year compared to recent history, so 2025 will be another one. Volvo has always been the best selling marque and will be staying there. Sales were up 7% and its 17.4% share is the highest since 2020. Plenty of loyalty on display here.

VW is up an impressive 45% but Toyota is down 1%. Subaru is a really odd case. In January 2025 it sold 2,580 for a 640% increase yoy. Since then, it has sold a mere 137 cars. I don't know why that was the case. 

Tesla was down 84% in August and -66% YTD. I wonder if this is a backlash for trade issues with the EU. The figures are saying this is more than market forces. 

Cupra was up 44% YTD with the Tavascan and Terramar the main reason for the upturn. Citroën is going the other way, down 49%. 

The top selling models were:

Volvo XC60 - 11,394

Volvo EX/XC40 - 6,100

Volkwagen ID.7 - 5,427

Škoda Kodiaq - 3,458

Volvo EX30 - 3,438

Tesla Model Y - 3,291 (-65%)

Kia EV3 - 3,256

Volvo 60 Series - 3,164

VW ID.4 / ID.5 - 3,024

Volkswagen Tiguan - 2,820
