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

Registrations were up 4% YTD to 1,494. Škoda took just over 1 in 5 of them. Toyota closed the gap but is miles behind. Renault has had two months to forget but Opel has found a new lease of life.

Serbia Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)

Registrations were up 6% YTD to 3,571. Škoda secured a quarter of those, which is impressive. Chery has pushed up to third place and to think it was 30th back in 2023. Renault and VW have both suffered so far this year.

Aston Martin Global Deliveries : 2022-25

Aston Martin is a marque of distinction, not hurt by its connection with the most famous of secret agents. It has also been a company that historically found profitability to be elusive.

A car company that low volume and labour intensive needs to charge for the exclusivity and quality. There are only so many people buying such cars and there are several companies vying for the same customers.

To the right are quarterly deliveries for the past four years. They have been very consistent with Q4 always giving an upward spike in volume. 

2025 was no exception although the last two quarters were down the most. Aston Martin is focused on a sound business model rather than chasing volume to look good. That's the challenge. 

Regions: All the regions are down with Asia/Pacific being the largest amount. China would be the main reason, but relying on that market is increasingly challenging for many reasons. Aston Martin has to deal with tariffs and consumption taxes that exist around the world and these are getting worse, not better. 

Every country claims to be a champion of fair trade but for many countries it is nothing more than hypocritical posturing. Sometimes trade has to be regulated to balance the books but at other times manipulated to selfishly generate large trade surpluses. This is something that hurts companies like Aston Martin.  

 

Models: All models had similar falls in volume. 152 units of the Valhalla were delivered in Q4 of 2025 and hopefully a further 500 in 2026. The Vanquish Volante, DBX S, Vantage S and Volante 60th Anniversary models are all now available. The DB12 S is planned for the first half of 2026. Plenty of things happening then. 

Lamborghini Production : 2024-25

Ferruccio Lamborghini had a successful business as a tractor manufacturer, and owned a Ferrari and when he complained about a faulty clutch to Enzo Ferrari. Enzo told him to stick to tractors. Instead of sticking to tractors, Ferruccio decided to take on Ferrari. 

The fact is Lamborghini has lived under Ferrari's shadow but ownership by VW and being managed by Audi has brought Lamborghini out of the shadow. 

Production was down 19% after a 22% increase in 2024. The Urus SUV accounts for an impressive 73% of the meaque's total production The Huracán has been replaced by the Temerario but I kept them separate here. That transition may have affected production volume, but 2026 will clarify matters.

Lamborghin achieved a 24% operating profit margin in 2025, so a downturn in volume doesn't appear at this stage to have done any harm.

Bentley Production : 2024-25

Premium marques have taken a bit of a hit volumewise in recent times. China is no longer the boom market it was and of course, the USA is problematic. Still, a 7% fall in production isn't bad. Bentley is pushing more toward customisation than volume. 

The Continental made up 43% of total production, the Bentayga SUV 33% and the Flying Spur 23%. Deliveries were down 5% and interestingly profit was down just 1%. That shows that Bentley is handling difficult economic headwinds well.

Audi Brand Plant Production : 2024-25

Production was down just 3% after a notable drop of 14% in 2024. A new assembly facility in Malaysia has been added while plants Belgium and Brazil are retired. I thought the location in Malaysia was a nutty idea.  

Germany increased its contribution of total production, now up the 37%. There are seven plants in China but they are no longer broken down individually. China is no longer the largest producer of cars for Audi and one would suspect won't be in the future either.

BMW Group Plant Production : 2024-25

Total production for the entire group was 2,456,500 units, down 2%. Nearly 44% of production was in Germany. 

China dropped three percentage points but still managed to make 600,000 cars in the three plants in that country.

A new production facility in Hungary is producing the new iX3. The contract plant in the Netherlands no longer produces vehicles for BMW. I believe the last cars made there were the MINI hatch and convertible.

BMW MINI Model Deliveries : 2024-25

2025 restored MINI deliveries with an 18% increase registered for the year. The Clubman is no more but the Aceman has covered that vacancy nicely. The new 

5th generation Hatch and new 3rd generation Countryman then ramped up their volumes to provide the increase. 

I thought if MINI wanted a catch tune to add to the Aceman, they could choose Carole King's Jazzman. "Lift me, won't you lift me, above the old routine? Make it nice, play it clean, Aceman" then "Aceman, take my blues away". That's probably why I never worked in advertising.

Rolls Royce Model Deliveries : 2024-25

Rolls Royce passed the 5,000 delivery mark in 2019 and ignoring 2020, has done so ever since. So 5-6,000 seems to be the level the marque is operating at. The 2024 profit was reportedly US$177 million but data on RR profit isn't overly available and may fluctuate for various reasons. 

The Cullinan leads the way with over half of deliveries attributed to the SUV. The electric Spectre had a nice start to its career in 2024 but 2025 was a return to reality. Are you watching JLR? 

The Wraith/Dawn combo ended in 2023, to make way for the Spectre. It wasn't a direct replacemnt though and may struggle to sell in equivalent numbers. Ahh, the electric car future that hasn't delivered as expected.

Škoda Model Production : 2024-25

Škoda made just over a million cars in 2025, up from 925,000. That's a 15% rise in volume. The leading model is the medium sized Octavia car, although unit production was down 13%. The medium to large size Kodiaq SUV closed the gap somewhat with a 14% increase. 

The small Elroq electric crossover and small Kylaq SUV were two models that joined the swelling ranks of models. The latter for the Indian market, joining the compact Slavia saloon car in that capacity.

So where are they made? Primarily in the Czech Republic, with 86% of the total. India's contribution is now 7%. and has passed Slovakia. Vietnam and Spain have just become new countries where Škodas are sourced. 

The 'Others' entry is for the SEAT/Cupra Ateca which Škoda makes in their behalf. They are siblings of the Karoq. I probably should have left them off the chart but it adds some additional information.

Škoda Global Deliveries : 2023-25

Škoda was founded 130 years ago in 2025. It was taken over by VW gradually from 1991 to 2000. It was then transformed into the successful brand it is today.

Škoda deliveries were up 13% in 2025. The main market is Germany and as Škoda is owned by VW, that's something that isn't lost on the car buyer there. The home market is next, followed by the UK. Deliveries in India have been moving up quickly and is now the fourth country on the list.

Regions. The reliance on Europe is clearly shown, with 82% of the total sales from there. 

Singapore Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)

Registrations were up 3% in February and up 26% YTD. For a market that is open to all brands and doesn't have a local hero to support, it's amazing that BYD has captured 25% of it. One in every four cars!

Toyota and Lexus are inexplicably lumped together yet well and truly second. Sure, 15.7% market share is good but to be left behind like that is not often what Toyota experiences. Tesla is solid in third place. So the top three have over half of the total sales. 

The next three are doing it tough, then we have Chery and MG coming after them. Chinese car manufacturers have surplus production capacity and they want to utlilise that to a greater extent. Singapore is part of the solution. 

Please note: The 2025 share below is for the complete year.

Mauritius Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)

Registrations were down 39% in the first two months of 2026! Higher duties on cars starting in July 2025 has led to a sales slump ever since. This sort of upheaval produces drastic movements and we see that here. The percentage movements listed below are crazy, even for a smaller market which usually has more volatility.

Suzuki went to the top in 2022 and stayed there since but this year both sales volume and market share have taken a real hit. The 2025 share below is for the complete year but already its experienced a 5.6% loss of market share which is substantial.

Estonia PC/LCV Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)

Registrations were down 49% last year, but in two months of 2026 they are up 115%! This sort of upheaval produces drastic movements and we see that here. The 2025 share below is for the complete year.

Škoda has returned to the top spot. It has occasionally done this before but only for a year at a time. The 22% increase in market share against a 30% drop for Toyota is striking. Will it be sustained? We can expect more of the unexpected as the year unfolds.

Czechia Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)

Registrations for February were up 5% and YTD down 1%. Local brand Škoda and its parent company Volkswagen both had substantial gains. The next four suffered accordingly. 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.

Spain Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)

Registrations were up 7.5% in February and 4.6% YTD. Toyota became the best selling brand in 2022 and has remained there since. The 9.2% market share it has in 2026 has only been bettered once, in 2024. The 2025 share below is for the complete year.

The last time a brand achieved double digit market share was Renault in 2005 (11.5%). So while in Spain no brand really dominates with a large market share, Toyota does have a strong lead in 2026. Sales are well spread among the brands below the leader.

Australia Car/ LCV Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)

Registrations were down 4% in February and down 2% YTD. In February, China became the largest supplier of vehicles, deposing Japan. I can see Japan retaining its place in the months to come but in the long term China will surely become the main source. 

Toyota had a sizable drop due a gap in supply of the top selling RAV4 as dealers wait for the new model to arrive in March. Chinese brands are pushing hard but Toyota is confident it will have 20% market share come December. I wouldn't bet against that.

A few brands don't report sales, so aren't listed. Mahindra gave a sales number for 2025, and based on that, I have done an estimte for 2026. The 2025 share below is for the complete year.

Italy Passenger Car Sales : 2026 (Jan-Feb)

Registrations were up 14% in February and up 10% YTD. The 2025 share figure below is for a full year. So how is Fiat doing in 2026?

It's been losing market share for decades but 2026 is witnessing a mini revival. The new Grande Panda is selling well along with the regular Panda, combined sales of 34,700 represented 86% of the Fiat total. Many other top selling brands struggled to keep up with it so far.
