Slovenia Passenger Car Sales : 2025 (Jan-Mar)

Formerly part of Yugoslavia, the Republic of Slovenia is known for its beautiful scenery, the architecture in the capital Ljubljana and for wine production. I've not been there but I'd like to visit.

For March passenger car sales were up 5% but the same as last year for the three months thus far. 

Volkswagen overtook Renault in 2014 and remained at the top ever since. In recent times, Škoda has been swapping second spot with Renault and in 2025 is winning that duel.

The top selling models were:

Škoda Octavia - 468

Renault Captur - 438

Renault Clio - 432

Škoda Kamiq - 416 (photo above)

VW Golf - 391

Škoda Kodiaq - 362

Peugeot 208 - 327

Citroën C3 - 310

Hyundai Tucson - 295

VW T-Roc - 273

Tesla Deliveries & Production Figures : 2025 (Q1)

Tesla deliveries were 336,681 for the first quarter of 2025. That was down 13% in the corresponding period of 2024. Q1 2024 was also down (9%) so it's too early to say how the full 2025 will end up. Production for 2025 was also down, by 16%.

What can be noted is that while 2023 deliveries were growing strongly, 2024 was flat despite the assistance of the Cybertruck. There are only so many customers wishing to buy an electric car and the competition is intense. 

To me, other products are looking fresh and up to date while Tesla's passenger car range is starting to look dated. In the case of the Cybertruck, its styling is different but also weird and has had too many issues. 

In 2024 I had to adjust the figures as the quarterly numbers didn't match the end of year totals. Tesla has now adjusted their figures as the shortfall was an error with Q1 2024. I find it surprising that I could see the figures not balancing and Tesla only picked it up in April 2025!

Peugeot Global Model Sales : 2023-24

Brands within Stellantis are data shy, perhaps it's due to the fact that they aren't doing that well. Peugeot is perhaps the strongest brand within the company and the only one seemingly sharing data. Coincidence? Possibly. 

Global sales were just under 1.1 million, down 2%. That is a good result, especially considering the Stellantis Group is badly in need of revitalising. They currently have an interim CEO while the search for a new one is underway.

Models: 14% don't make the cut in 2024, a shame. The other 86% are below, led by the compact 208 with 275,000 sales. The compact 2008 SUV comes in next with 214,000 units. The Partner van includes the Rifter passenger version and together they came in at 133,000. 

Data source: Peugeot.

Regions: Many of the Stellantis brands are regional rather and limited in their global reach. 75% of Peugeot sales are in Europe as an example. The Middle East/Africa took 11% of the volume, Latin America 8%, Asia/Pacific 3.8% and North America (read Mexico) 1.7%.
