Slovakia January 2026: Suzuki (+76.3%), Opel (+51.4%) defy weak market (-15.4%)

3 March 2026 at 04:51

Opel Mokka sales triple year-on-year in January.

Only 5,591 new cars found a buyer in Slovakia in January, a poor -15.4% year-on-year drop. Keep in mind January 2025 was already down -16.8% on the year prior. The top 2 best-selling carmakers resist better than the market: Skoda is off -1.7% to 21.4% share vs. 20.1% over the Full Year 2025 and Volkswagen edges down -3.3% to 11% share vs. 9.5%. Hyundai (-46.9%), Kia (-39.6%) and Toyota (-23.2%) are all pummelled below. In contrast Suzuki (+76.3%) and Opel (+51.4%) completely ignore the depressed environment and climb to #9 and #7 respectively. Alfa Romeo (+581.8%), Fiat (+275.9%) and Nissan (+107.5%) stand out further down.

Over in the models charts, the Skoda Octavia (-6.6%) holds onto the lead with 4.8% share, distancing a surging Toyota Corolla (+44%) up 9 spots on December to #2. The Skoda Fabia (-21.1%) ranks #3 ahead of the Kia Ceed (-42.1%) which was #1 a year ago. The Skoda Kamiq (+44.3%), Hyundai Tucson (+33%) and Nissan Qashqai (+138.3%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10. Other spectacular gainers include the VW T-Roc (+263.3%), Suzuki Vitara (+218.5%), Opel Mokka (+192.6%) and Suzuki S-Cross (+105.7%).
