Greece January 2026: Citroen C3 best-seller in weak market

The Citroen C3 is the most popular vehicle in Greece in January.

New car sales in Greece drop -5.4% year-on-year in January to 10,087 units, keep in mind January 2025 was a already off -16.4% on the year prior so this is a weak result. Toyota (-19.5%) is by far the most popular brand again with 14.9% share and despite a hefty year-on-year fall. It is followed by Opel (-19%) back up 16 spots on December but down sharply on a particularly strong year-ago result. Peugeot (-14.3%) is up 7 ranks to #3 bay also falls heavily YoY. In contrast Citroen (+34.1%) and Suzuki (+43.1%) surge ahead to complete the Top 5. Audi (+43.8%) and MG (+9.1%) also defy the negative context in the remainder of the Top 10 but Hyundai (-27.5%) and most strikingly Volkswagen (-40.6%) are hit hard, the latter even ranking below its premium counterpart Audi. Just outside the 10 best-sellers, Skoda (+116.9%) and Dacia (+64%) impress. Newcomer Chery is down for spots on a record December showing to a still stellar 14th place.

Model-wise, the Citroen C3 (-8%) records its first win in almost a year and 6th ever for the nameplate afterΒ May, June and July 2012, February 2023, January 2024 and March 2025. It distances the Full Year 2025 leader, the Toyota Yaris Cross (-12.5%) while the Peugeot 2008 (-23.6%) is in difficulty year-on-year and ranks at #3. The Suzuki Vitara (+92.4%) almost doubles its sales year-on-year and climbs to 4th place ahead of the Opel Corsa (-34.8%) and Toyota Yaris (-18.7%). Like last month, the Chery Tiggo 4 (#14) is the best-selling recent launch, above the Fiat Grande Panda (#16) and Opel Frontera (#20).

The Cupra Formentor is inside the Polish Top 10 in January.


It’s a tough start of the year for the Polish new car market at -9% year-on-year in January to 40,284 units. Toyota (-12.7%) falls heavily but scores a superb 19.5% share. It is followed by Skoda (+6.3%) defying the negative context with a sturdy gain. Volkswagen (-3.6%) and Audi (-7.8%) resist somewhat while BMW (+9.6%) is back up three spots on last month to round out the Top 5. Lexus (-40.8%) collapses on a record year-ago result and Kia (-38.6%) also freefalls. Dacia (-7.9%) stays at #9. At #10, Cupra (+1.8%) breaks into the Polish Top 10 for the second time ever after also hitting #10 in August 2023. Omoda (+205%) breaks into the Top 15 for the first time at #15.


Model-wise, the Toyota Corolla (-5.1%) reclaims the top spot it held over the Full Year 2025 with a very strong 5.3% share vs. 2.9% in December and 3.9% over FY2025. The Skoda Octavia (+9.7%) is relegated to #2 but is solid YoY, followed by a surging Toyota Yaris Cross (+21.2%). Toyota places no less than five models inside the January Top 6: add the C-HR (-38.1%), RAV4 (-11.4%) and Yaris (-14.9%). The Cupra Formentor (+25.2%) lodges its first Top 10 finish since August 2024 (#8). Notice also the Toyota Corolla Cross (+50.9%), Aygo X (+47%) and Skoda Kamiq (+13.5%) all delivering fantastic results.

Jetour holds 3.1% of the South African market in January.


The South African new vehicle market marks a 16th consecutive month of year-on-year gains in January at +7.5% to 50,073 units. This is the highest January volume in 9 years, since the 50,333 sales of January 2017. Toyota (-3%) disappoints but remains ultra dominant at 23.5% share while Suzuki (+0.2%) reclaims the second spot it held over the Full year 2025 off the Volkswagen Group (-15.9%) in deep trouble. Hyundai (+10.4%), Ford (+19.6%), GWM (+43.6%) and Chery (+18%) camp on their December and Full Year 2025 rankings from #4 to #7 respectively. Kia (+32.2%) and Mahindra (+14.2%) also beat the market in the remainder of the Top 10. Jetour (+243.7%) celebrates one year in market with new volume (1,550) and share (3.1%) records.


Over in the models charts, the Toyota Hilux (-3.2%) is the best-seller once again with a comfortable 5.1% share, albeit one percentage point below its December and Full Year 2025 level of 6.1%. The Ford Ranger (+11.5%) advances to #2 ahead of the VW Polo Vivo (-19.2%) and Suzuki Swift (-22.8%) both in freefall. Reversely the Chery Tiggo 4 (+44.8%) and Toyota Vitz (+83.5%) surge ahead to #5 and #6 respectively. The Hyundai Grand i10 (+13.4%) is also solid at #7. Further down, notice the Toyota Rumion (+227.8%), Omoda C5 (+75.4%) and Suzuki Fronx (+50%) all in outstanding shape. The Jetour T2 is up 9 ranks on last month to a record #22.

The Opel Frontera ranks #5 in Bulgaria in January.


It’s a disastrous start of the year for new car sales in Bulgaria, down -19.2% year-on-year in January to 3,545 units. Toyota (-30.9%) remains the most popular carmaker in the country at 11.8% share, ahead of Skoda (-31.8%) at 11.4%. Volkswagen (-12.5%) resists better and climbs two spots on December to #3 ahead of Renault (-23%). Kia (+9.7%) defies the negative context with a solid lift to rank #5 ahead of a freefalling Dacia (-63.4%). BMW (+21.3%), Citroen (+12.1%) and Hyundai (+1.3%) also end the month in positive in the remainder of the Top 10.


Over in the models charts, the Toyota Corolla (-25.5%) stays on top above the Skoda Octavia (-38.7%) despite both models enduring steep falls. The Kia Sportage (+15%) leaps up six spots on last month to #3 ahead of the Toyota RAV4 (-13.9%) up 16 to #4. The new Opel Frontera lurks at an outstanding 5th place overall, distancing the Kia Ceed (+150%) and Skoda Kodiaq (-8%). The Hyundai Tucson (+59.5%) also shines year-on-year at #8. Notice also the Renault Symbioz (+585.7%) at #13, the new Dacia Bigster at #15 and the Citroen C3 Aircross at #16.

The Toyota Yaris Cross is the best-selling vehicle in Ireland in January.


January is traditionally the biggest month of the year in Ireland as it coincides with new license plates. 2026 starts well with a +3.1% year-on-year lift in January to 34,546 registrations. Toyota (-4.2%) underperforms but still frankly leads the brands ranking at 14.95 share vs. 13.5% over the Full Year 2025. Hyundai (-0.9%) is up to 2nd place with 11% of the market, distancing Volkswagen (+0.3%) and Skoda (+5.9%). Kia (+4.6%) rounds out the Top 5 with 7.6% share. Below, Ford (+25.4%) and Audi (+11.5%) impress while Renault (+5.2%) and Dacia (+4.5%) are also solid. Further down, notice BYD (+129.5%) at #13 with 3% share, Citroen (+101.1%), MG (+56.6%) and Cupra (+43.9%).


We have a small event in the models charts: the Toyota Yaris Cross (+24.7%) topples perennial leader the Hyundai Tucson (-18.5%) to take the overall lead in the all important month. Only 43 sales separate the two nameplates however. The Kia Sportage (+17.1%) and Toyota Corolla Cross (+85.1%), follow, both in scintillating shape, with the Toyota Corolla (+6.1%) closing up the Top 5. The VW ID.4 (+29.4%) also impresses at #9. As for recent launches, the Opel Frontera is up to #17, the Dacia Bigster up to #20 and the Hyundai Inster up to #26.
