Bosnia-Herzegovina Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-July)



















Registrations were up 2% YTD to 6,937. Škoda took nearly 1 in 4 of them. Toyota kept up the pace with the leader but it is miles behind. 
Renault has had a year to forget but Opel has found a new lease of life. Legacy brands still hold sway.

A large number of cars arriving in the country are used. I'm not sure how many new cars are private imports, if any.

Serbia Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-July)















Registrations were up 34% in July and up 21% YTD to 23,645. Škoda secured a fifth of those, which is impressive. Toyota is only one in the top six to increase its share. BYD and Chery has pushed up into the top ten. Chinese brands are making their presence felt.

Indonesia Vehicle Sales : 2026 (Jan-July)











Registrations in Indonesia were down 3% in July and up 12% YTD. Toyota and subsidiary Daihatsu are not far off commanding half of the market. Chinese brands have arrived in a feeding frenzy but seem to be only partially having an impact on the better selling Japanese brands. At present, they seem to be canabalising sales off each other. 

Part of that stems from the fact that import duty enables those with large assembly plants to dominate proceedings. As the market grows, more assembly plants will open and spread the sales more evenly. 

It never ceases to amaze me how in Asia, car pictures on company websites are so bland or downright cheesy. Do people actually like them? We have here the Toyota Innova (above) and Daihatsu Sirion (below).
