Luxembourg Passenger Car Sales: 2026 (Jan-Apr)

Registrations were up 3% in 2026. Things tend to be very stable here, unruffled even. It's financial sector accounts for nearly a third of GDP, although they does want to diversify the economy.  

German brands hold the top four places here. Then one could also add German owned Škoda to take all five leading brands. Chinese brands are yet to have much impact, although the ever growing 'Other' figure - which isn't revealed to us - could contain many brands from that source.

Austria Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Apr)

Registrations were up 17% for the first quarter. The figures includes preliminary April data so that may slightly affect that. VW as always is on top with 14.5% share. I've noticed Dacia is reducing its volume and it is so consistent, it must be a policy. Is it shifting away from value pricing?

Chinese brands are arriving although only BYD has has had a major impact so far. Legacy brands will be feeling uneasy.

Cyprus Private Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Apr)

This covers cars sold to private citizens only. The main exclusion is for rental cars. Registrations were down 10%. Kia is the leading brand, with Nissan pushing up into second place. BYD is on a mission and is now seventh. There aren't many Chinese brands here yet either. BAIC has just arrived and won't be the last.
