Fifth Top 5 finish for the Dacia Bigster in Austria.

21,288 new cars hit Austrian roads in February, another solid 8.5% year-on-year improvement. After a double-digit gain in January, the year-to-date volume is up 10.4% to 44.217. Volkswagen (+1.7%) remains in the brands lead even though it can’t quite capitalise on the market growth. In contrast Skoda (+16.9%) and Audi (+10.4%) pushed ahead and complete the podium as it was also the case in January. BMW (-21%) is in a rut at #4 while Dacia (+13%) is up four spots on last month to round out the Top 5. Peugeot (+44.3%), Cupra (+21.7%) and Toyota (+15%) also make themselves noticed in the remainder of the Top 10. Below, BYD (+62.8%) at #12, Fiat (+89.4%), MG (+136.1%) and Leapmotor (+463.6%) are among carmakers standing out.

Model-wise, the VW Golf (-13.9%) repeats at #1 for what is only its third win in the past 12 months, it is followed by the Skoda Octavia (-27.5%) in even worse shape. The Toyota Yaris/Cross (+102.7%) doubles its sales year-on-year and surges 15 spots on January to #3. The Dacia Bigster (+40000%) celebrates one year in market with a splendid 4th position, already its 5th Top 5 finish in Austria. The VW Pplo (+23.5%) is down 5 ranks on last month but soars YoY, as do the Audi Q3 (+214.8%), Skoda Elroq (+623.5%), Enyaq (+82.4%), VW Bus (+72.5%), Seat Leon (+71%) and Audi A1 (+169.5%).
