Czechia Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-July)

Registrations for July were down 3% and YTD up 5%. Local brand Škoda and its parent company Volkswagen both had substantial gains. The next six suffered accordingly to varying degrees. Overall, there were many moving up or down in a dramatic fashion. 

Previously, I kept camper vans in the data but this time weeded them out. This is in keeping with what is done elsewhere. The 2025 share below is for the complete year.

Ireland Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-July)

Registrations were up 9% in July and up 5% YTD. The 2025 share figure below is for a full year. The number of brands here hasn't exploded like it has in other places. A few Chinese brands have arrived and maybe more will come. 

Toyota is still top with a slight shrinkage of market share. Hyundai would love to replace the Big T at #1, a position it has never held, but that may be a bridge too far. Oh, and never forget your giraffe.

Türkiye Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-July)

Registrations in Türkiye were down a surprising 26% in July, pushing the YTD figure down to -12%. Renault leads the way here and is consolidating its position in dramatic fashion. Fiat was the top brand in 2023 and is currently 6th. It's the only top ranked brand losing market share. 

As to why sales were so poor in July, one source said tighter loan conditions and high interest rates has put a damper on things. The economy generally isn't doing that well, so consumer confidence will be down.
