The new iX3 helps BMW up 50.4% in March.

New car sales in Sweden advance 9.8% year-on-year in March to 26,578 units, leading to a year-to-date volume off -2.3% to 61,960. BEVs surge 29.7% to 10,875 and 40.9% share vs. 34.6% a year ago, while PHEVs are up just 2.4% to 6,466 and 24.3% share vs. 26.1% in March 2025. As a whole, rechargeable cars shoot up 17.9% to 17,341 and 65.2% share vs. 60.7% last year.

Brand leaders Volvo (-9.7%) and Volkswagen (-10.8%) both disappoint at 14.5% and 11.7% share respectively, vs. 15.9% (-10.6%) and 11.9% (-21%) year-to-date. In contrast Kia (+44.2%) shoots up to #3 ahead of Toyota (-5.7%), also in difficulty. BMW (+50.4%) is also in outstanding shape, but none more so than Tesla (+95.8%) truly getting back into the game at #6. Note the US carmaker was down -63.9% on the year prior in March 2025. Notice also Subaru (+1581.8%), Mazda (+159.9%) and Fiat (+88%) making themselves noticed.

Over in the models charts, the Tesla Model Y (+80.2%) regains traction and signs its first monthly win since December 2024. The Volvo XC60 (-25.5%) repeats at #2 but sinks year-on-year and ends the month above the Volvo EX/XC40 (+25.8%), still leader year-to-date. The VW Tiguan (+89%) soars 7 spots on February to #4, the nameplate’s highest ranking in Sweden since hitting #3 over 6 years ago in November 2019. The Skoda Kodiaq (+34%) brilliantly rounds out the Top 5 ahead of a surging Volvo EX30 (+84.4%), ensuring the Top 6 is entirely composed of SUVs.

Tenet holds 9.9% of the Russian market in March.

Russian new car sales advance 30.6% year-on-year in March to 104,278 units, however this is mainly catching up on lost ground as March 2025 was off -45.5% on the year prior. The year-to-date tally tilts into positive for Q1 at +7.3% to 264,909. Once again Lada (-0.1%) vastly trails its home market to 24.1% share vs. 31.5% in March 2025. Haval (+50.7%) surges ahead at #2 with 14.2% share, the carmaker’s highest so far this year. Newcomer Tenet, a China-Russia joint venture assembling rebadged Chery vehicles at the Kaluga plant previously owned by Volkswagen, may have plateaued at 9.9% share vs. 10.8% last month and 11.1% in January. Geely (+23.6%) is back above sister brand Belgee (+113.5%) while Toyota (+150.8%) soars to 7th place with 2.7% share for an 8th straight Top 10 finish. Jaecoo (+48.5%), Solaris (+37%) and Jetour (+25.8%) also impress in the remainder of the Top 10.

Model-wise, the Lada Granta (-7.8%) continues to skid and sees its share go from 13.4% a year ago in March 2025 to just 9.5% this month. It is however better than the 9.1% of February and the 9.4% of January. The Haval Jolion (+39.9%) is back up to #2, edging past newcomer Tenet T7 down one spot on February to #3. The Lada Vesta (-40.5%) climbs back up three ranks on last month to #4 but still implies year-on-year. Excellent performances below by the Belgee X50 (+97.7%), Haval M6 (+69.8%) and Lada Niva Travel (+43.8%).

The Tesla Model Y is the best-selling vehicle in Taiwan in March.

39,138 new cars hit Taiwanese roads in March, a 5% year-on-year uptick. As a result the Q1 volume is now off -3.4% to 96,434. This a weak result given Q1 2025 was already down -11.2% on the year prior. Toyota (-10%) disappoints but easily keeps the lead of the brands charts with 27.1% share vs. 30.6% so far this year. Tesla (+313.2%) shoots up to 2nd place with 13.9% share, a new share record eclipsing the 11.7% it hit last December. Honda (+22%) also impresses in third position above Lexus (-4.7%) and CMC (-20.3%) both struggling. In contrast Mazda (+56.1%), Ford (+30.9%) and Mitsubishi (+24.5%) all shine in the remainder of the Top 10.

We have a surprise in the models charts: thanks to new shipments from China, the Tesla Model Y (+1164.6%) takes the overall lead for the second time ever in Taiwan after doing so last December, reaching a record 11.6% share vs. a previous best of 10.8% last December. The entire Top 4 shifts down one spot as a result: the Toyota Corolla Cross (-5.5%) is down to #2, the Toyota RAV4 (-3.6%) down to #3, the CMC J Space (-17.3%) down to #4 and the new Ford Territory to #5. The Toyota Town Ace (-32.7%) is back up three ranks on last month to #6 despite faltering year-on-year. Excellent performances by the Toyota bZ4X (+1550%), Mazda CX-5 (+179.9%) and Honda HR-V (+84.9%).

The Opel Frontera is up to #7 in Croatia in March.

It’s another very strong result for new car sales in Croatia at +26.6% in May to 7,929 registrations. This way, the Q1 volume is up 11.8% to 16,738. Like a year ago, Renault (+8.5%) is the favourite brand in the country, this time with 12.2% share which is 2 percentage points below its year-ago level. Skoda (+20.5%) is bumped down to #2 ahead of a timid Volkswagen (+13.8%). Opel (+119.2%) once again stands out and is up three spots on February to #4. BMW (+90.5%), Hyundai (+51.2%) and Toyota (+32%) also outpace the surging market in the remainder of the Top 10. Below, BYD (+2210%) smashes all its records at #12 with 231 sales and 2.9% share.

Model-wise, the Renault Clio (+3.3%) signs its first win since last April and leaps up to #4 year-to-date, a ranking it also held over the Full Year 2025. The Skoda Octavia (-3%) is relegated to 2nd place but holds onto the YTD pole position. The Renault Captur (+11.9%) comes from outside the February Top 20 directly into third place and is #6 year-to-date despite falling year-on-year. The VW T-Cross (-1.6%) and Suzuki Vitara (+12.3%) round out the Top 5 but both underperform. The Opel Mokka (+294.3%) multiplies its sales by 4 year-on-year while the new Opel Frontera is up to #7, its 2nd highest ranking below the #6 it hit last November.

The Nissan Qashqai holds a record 14.2% share in Hungary in March.

The Hungarian new passenger car market surges 32.1% year-on-year in March to a whopping 17,443 units, the biggest monthly volume since 2020. Q1 levels are up 10.8% to 36,455. The surprise leader this month is Nissan (+190.8%) tripling its sales year-on-year to reach a record 19.3% share.

The Leapmotor T03 becomes the first Chinese model to enter the Italian podium.

New car sales in Italy are up by a solid 7.6% year-on-year in March to 185,367 units, leading to a year-to-date tally up 9.2% to 484,802. Private sales are up 18% to 95,638 and 51.2% share vs. 46.7% a year ago (up 7.7% to 53.2% share YTD), self registrations are up 8.3% to 15,397 and 8.2% share, unchanged on March 2025 (up 19.1% to 9.2% share YTD), long term leases fall -11.8% to 40,781 and 21.8% share vs. 26.6% in March 2025 (down -3.2% to 21.1% share YTD), short term rentals are up 9.7% to 25,082 and 13.4% share vs. 13.2% last year (up 51.3% to 11.4% share YTD) and company sales gain 7.6% to 9,790 and 5.2% share, unchanged (up 2% to 5.1% share YTD).

BEVs shoot up 71.7% to 16,137 and 8.6% share vs. 5.4% in March 2025 (up 65.3% to 7.8% share vs. 5.2% YTD) and PHEVs soar 114.5% to 16,998 and 9.1% share vs. 4.6% a year ago (up 123.3% to 8.8% share YTD). This way, rechargeable cars gain 91.3% to 33,135 and 17.7% share vs. 10% in March 2025 (up 91.7% to 81,098 and 16.6% share YTD vs. 9.5% over the same period in 2025.

In the brands ranking, Fiat (+27.2%) continues to catch up on lost time but sees its share drop from 13.4% in February to 11.4% this month. YTD volumes are up 29.8% to 12.7% share. Volkswagen (+2.7%) overtakes Toyota (-5.6%) for second place while Dacia (+4.3%) climbs back up five spots on last month #4, overtaking sister brand Renault (+1.8%), a soaring Audi (+27.4%), a freefalling Peugeot (-26.7%), BMW (+8.2%) and Jeep (-7.8%). Citroen (+11%) closes out the Top 10 in sturdy fashion. Kia (+22.3%) also makes itself entice at #11, while Chinese Leapmotor (+2727.2%) breaks its volume record at 5,513 units and BYD surges 190.6% to #17 and 2.8% share.

Model-wise, the Fiat Panda (-11.6%) accounts for 6% of its home market vs. 8% last month, entirely responsible for the brand’s drop vs. February. The Jeep Avenger (+6.1%) repeats at a record 2nd place with 2.8% share. Once again the biggest event of the month is delivered by the Leapmotor T03 (+2889.3%) up to a surreal and record third place. This is because of its price reduced to an incredible €4,900 after incentives and a further €3,000 rebate from the manufacturer. Its advertising campaign promotes it as “cheaper than your bike”. Almost 10,750 units of the T03 have now been registered in Italy since the start of the year, earning it a fifth place YTD. The Dacia Sandero (-15.1%) rallies back up 17 ranks on February to #4 but remains well below its year-ago level. Although it drops two spots on February, the Fiat Grande Panda (+1073%) posts an encouraging third consecutive month inside its home Top 5. The Nissan Qashqai (+2.9%) and Dacia Duster (+25.7%) are back inside the Top 10, with the Fiat 600 (+21.6%) lodging its best ranking since May 2025 at #12.
