The Jaecoo 7 is only outsold by the Kia Sportage in January.

The UK new car market is up 3.4% year-on-year in January to 144,127 units, this is the highest January volume in six years: since pre-pandemic January 2020. Encouragingly, private sales beat the market at +4.5% to 52,397, but remain at a low 36.4% share vs. 36% a year ago. Fleet sales edge up 1.6% to 88,269 and 61.2% share vs. 62.3% in January 2025. Meanwhile business sales are up 46.5% to 3,461. BEV registrations disappoint at +0.1% to 29,654 and 20.6% share vs. 21.3% last year, the lowest since March 2025. HEVs are up 4.8% to 19,297 and 13.4% vs. 13.2%, PHEVs surge 47.3% to 18,557 and 12.9% share vs. 9% but petrol is off -1.9% to 68,757 and 47.7% share vs. 50.3% and diesel down -8.8% to 7,862 and 5.5% share vs. 6.2%.

In the brands ranking, the three best-sellers disappoint with year-on-year drops. Volkswagen (-7.6%) remains by far the most popular carmaker in the country with 8.7% share, consistent with its FY2025 level of 8.8%. Kia (-7.7%), although down significantly, continues on its traditional strong start of years at #2, a ranking it last held in September. BMW (-12.6%) is in trouble but climbs back up to the podium. Audi (+17.1%), Ford (+13.6%, Skoda (+13.1%) and Mercedes (+6.7%) all post solid scores below, whereas Peugeot (-21.6%) and Nissan (-16.7%) struggle. Further down, Chinese fare Jaecoo (+569.9%) ascends to a record ranking (#15) and share (3.4%) and is only 200 sales below MG (-6.6%). Omoda (+211.3%), BYD (+149.1%) and Citroen (+97.5%) also impress. Tesla is down -50.8% to #33 and 0.5% share.

Looking at the models charts, the Kia Sportage (+34.5%) snaps the top spot for the 5th time in the past 13 months, another good start of the year for the crossover. The event of the month is the brilliant 2nd place of the Jaecoo 7, a new record for the nameplate reaching an all time high share at 2.8%. Its previous best was #4 last September. This the 6th consecutive month the Jaecoo 7 is inside the UK Top 10, confirming it is an instant (and surprising) blockbuster here. Leader for the past three years, the Ford Puma (+59.3%) drops to #3 but manages surging year-on-year volumes. The BYD Seal U is up to a record #6, a ranking it also held last September. Strong showing also by the VW Tiguan (+18.8%) and Nissan Juke (+8.5%).

The Mercedes CLA ranks #9 in Finland this month.

Yet more worries for new car sales in Finland at -5.1% year-on-year in January to just 5,374 units. Toyota (-7.4%) reclaims the brands top spot with 15.1% share vs. 11.2% in December, distancing Skoda (+9.8%) at 11.5% vs. 10% last month. Volvo (-1.3%) advances two ranks on last month to #4 whereas Volkswagen (-10.7%), leader in December, falls to #5. Tesla (+286.2%) compensates on a particularly low January 2025 result (-65.7%) and ranks inside the Top 10 at #9. Other great performers below include Seat (+500%), Smart (+295.2%), Mini (+100%), BYD (+98%) and Xpeng (+87.5%).

Over in the models charts, the Tesla Model Y (+550%) surges to pole position which is unusual for a quarter start. Selling exactly the same amount is the Toyota Yaris Cross (+14.5%), leader over the Full Year 2025. At #3, the Toyota bZ4X (+101.1%) posts a fantastic result and climbs onto the Finnish podium for the first time – and in the Top 10 for the first time also. The Nissan Qashqai (-35.1%) was #1 a year ago and pays it this month. Another excellent month for the Skoda Elroq (+1176.9%) celebrating one year in market with a 5th position. The good surprise of the month is the 9th place of the Mercedes CLA (+633.3%), inside the Top 10 for the 2nd month in a row after ranking #10 in December – making Finland the only market in the world where the CLA is in the Top 10. For its part the new Smart #5 continues to shine at #20 even though this is significantly below the #7 it reached last month. Finland remains the only market in the world where the #5 is met with success.

Model-wise, like last year the Fiat Strada (+20.1%) starts 2026 all guns blazing with 6.5% of the market vs. 3.5% for the #2, the VW T-Cross (+8.1%). The VW Polo (-1.8%) is back up one spot on last month to #3 ahead of the Fiat Argo (+0.1%) also up one to #4 and the sensation of recent months the new VW Tera, lodging a 4th consecutive month inside the Brazilian Top 5 at #5.

The Foxtron Bria has (shyly) landed in the Taiwanese charts.

Stable market in Taiwan in January at +0.03% to 35,073 units. Back from record-setting year-ago results, Toyota (-9%) and Lexus (-11.6%) both recede this month. In contrast Honda (+90.2%) and Ford (+115.3%) excel and rank #3 and #5 respectively. Mitsubishi (+55%) and Hyundai (+32.6%) also impress while CMC (+5.8%) lodges a positive score and is back up to #4. Up to a record #2 with 11.7% share in December, Tesla only sells 6 units in January.

Model-wise, the Toyota Corolla Cross (+6.2%) continues to vastly dominate with 13.1% share, its best since last July. The Toyota RAV4 (-13.5%) is a little weaker as the transition towards the 6th generation has started. The CMC J Space (+11.8%) holds its own at #3 ahead of the Lexus NX (-2%) back up eight spots on last month to #4. Launched in December, the locally-produced Ford Territory climbs to a solid 5th place with 3.8% share. The Honda HR-V (+267%) shoots up year-on-year but drops four ranks on last month to #8. We welcome the locally assembled Mitsubishi Xforce at #12. Finally, a (shy) new entrant is local manufacturer Foxtron’s first model, the Bria compact SUV, which sold 14 units in January.

Peugeot sales are up 27.5% in a devastated market.

Horrible start of the year for the Belgian new car market at -18.7% to 32,997 units. This is on top of January 2025 volumes being already down -13% on the year prior. One of the explanations of this poor result is the new EURO norm implemented on January 1, 2026 and that pulled sales forward to December. On note is the 36.7% share of BEVs.

In the brands ranking, Volkswagen (-12.7%) lodges its first monthly win since last September wth a solid 9.6% share. BMW (-47.8%) implodes on a particularly strong year-ago result when it broke its share record at 14.8%. Mercedes (-16.5%) returns to the third place it held over the Full Year 2025, ahead Peugeot (+27.5%) delivering a splendid score. Below, BYD (+92.7%), Fiat (+68.3%), Skoda (+46.9%) and Opel (+38.9%) also defy the negative context with double-digit YoY gains.

Audi holds 4.9% of the Croatian market in January.

The Croatian new car market suffers in January at -11.5% year-on-year to 3,946 units. Skoda (-2.6%) and Volkswagen (-6.2%) both improve their share and are separated by only one sale. Toyota (+13.8%) defies the negative context at #3 like last month, followed by Suzuki (-25%) and Opel (-26.9%) both cratering. Audi (+9.7%) is the only gainer in the remainder of the Top 10, reaching a record 6th place (previous best: #7 in March 2025). Renault (-50.6%), Dacia (-49%), Ford (-30.7%) and Hyundai (-25%) are hit particularly hard below. MG (+120%), Forthing (+106.7%) and Volvo (+24.2%) shine.

Model-wise, the VW T-Cross (-27.8%) is the best-seller like one year ago but sees its sales plunge. The Skoda Octavia (-11.4%) follows the market at #2 while the Suzuki Vitara (-29.8%) is in trouble at #3. In contrast, the VW Tiguan (+37.3%), Skoda Kamiq (+25%) and Suzuki S-Cross (+16.7%) all deliver excellent performances. The MG ZS (+142.9%), Toyota Yaris (+121.7%) and Skoda Karoq (+97.1%) all impress.

Omoda-Jaecoo holds a record 11.6% of the Israeli market in January.

According to data shared with us by our local partner cartube.co.il, new car sales in Israel are down -10.7% year-on-year in January to 41,618 units, however the year-ago comparison point was particularly high. Hyundai (-9.5%) is back to the #1 brand spot for the first time since February 2025, but the event of the month is in 2nd place: just one unit below, Omoda-Jaecoo (+157%) smashes its share record to 11.6%, with its previous best being 8.5% last May. This is also the carmaker’s highest ranking and volume. Toyota (-3.2%) and Kia (-11.5%) follow, while last month’s leader Chery (+55.7%) sports astounding growth at #5. Deepal (+412.9%), Citroen (+41.4%) and BYD (+27%) also impress below. All in all, Chinese manufacturers account for 37.6% share vs. 29.7% over the Full Year 2025.
