Registrations were up 18% in December and up 5% for the full year. So as with many other markets, a stronger finish to the year. Škoda is the home town hero and it shows. One in three cars in an open market is an unusually high percentage. Toyota has just passed VW and has Hyundai in its sights. So the leadership won't be changing but below brands feeding over the crumbs will.
There are a large number of 'Other' brands which are given but the list would be twice as long as it is now so trust me when I say it's better not to include them. None of them are large in sales. Some of the larger and better known ones are Chevrolet (36), Maserati (29), Alpine (24), Rolls Royce (22), BYD (22), Aston Martin and Cadillac (17).
The list includes camper vans too so some names may sound strange to those not familiar with them. I'd like to extract them but it would be a lot of work. Chinese brands are entering but not making a huge splash as yet.
