Dacia Duster sales are up 238.3% year-on-year in September.

25/10 update: Now with Top 100 YTD models (PC+LCV)

10,381 passenger cars hit Hungarian roads in September, a stunning 14.4% year-on-year improvement. The year-to-date tally is up 7.7% to 95,946. The PC+LCV tally for the month is 12,131 with a YTD volume up 5.1% to 112,976.

In the PC brands charts, Suzuki (+10.7%) keeps the passenger car brands lead, just, 24 units above Toyota (+9.5%). Leader a year ago, Skoda (-15.4%) is in great difficulty but climbs two spots on August to #3, a ranking it also holds year-to-date. Volkswagen (+10.5%) trails the market but is up three ranks on last month to #4 with Ford (-17.2%) skidding to #5. Dacia is up to #8 vs. #11 year-to-date, while Chery breaks into the Hungarian Top 20 for the first time at #16 with 1.6% share. Tesla is up one spot to #18 and BYD down three to #19.

Model-wise, the Suzuki S-Cross (+6.7%) dominates again above the Suzuki Vitara (+46.8%) repeating at #2 but stuck at #3 year-to-date below the Skoda Octavia (-21.3%), ranking #3 for the month. The Dacia Duster (+238.3%) is up three spots on last month to #3, followed by the Toyota C-HR (+80.8%) up 10 ranks to #5 and the Toyota Yaris Cross (+71.2%) down two to #6 despite a fantastic YoY lift. The Hyundai Tucson (+263.6%) and Ford Puma (+121.1%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10.

MiThe Mitsubishi ASX sold in New Caledonia is not the European model.

Continuing social unrest means New Caledonian new car sales freefall again through September at -23.3% to 2,487 units. Keep in mind the year-ago volume was already off -48.7% on the year prior. Toyota (-41.7%) falls markedly faster than the market, seeing its share reduced to 14%. In contrast Renault (-7.6%) and Suzuki (-13.2%) resist relatively well in context and complete the podium like they did over the Full Year 2024. Hyundai (+1.1%) is the only gainer in the Top 8 and climbs four spots to #4. Dacia (-45.3%) and Peugeot (-30.1%) are hit the hardest below but Mitsubishi (+22.1%) and Subaru (+21.3%) post market-defying surges to close out the Top 10. BAIC (+94.7%), Fiat (+54.2%) and BYD (+15.4%) also impress further down.

Over in the models charts, the Toyota Hilux (-51.6%) stays on top but loses over half its year-ago volume. It is followed this time by the Suzuki Swift (-9.3%) passing the Dacia Duster (-31.5%). The Ford Ranger (+11.8%) is actually up to #4 while the Mitsubishi ASX (+64.5%) and Renault Kangoo (+9.4%) also post year-on-year upticks in the remainder of the Top 10. The Renault Master (-3.4%), Hyundai Tucson (-7.5%) and Suzuki Jimny (-10.3%) resist but the Citroen Berlingo (-28.8%) dives.
