Moldova March 2026: Jetour X50 on podium in market up 65.8%
Second ever podium finish for the Jetour X50.
Data by our Central European partner CE Auto show a Moldovan new car market surging 65.8% year-on-year to 1,169 units, leading to a Q1 result up 32.9% to 2,593. The Toyota RAV4 (+163.6%) reclaims the top spot it holds year-to-date but with a relatively weak 5% share vs. 5.8% over Q1. The Toyota Corolla Cross (+157.1%) climbs up two spots to #2, a ranking it also holds year-to-date vs. #7 over the Full Year 2025. The Jetour X50 soars to third place, but this is not enough to crack the YTD Top 10. This is the nameplateβs second incursion inside the Moldovan podium after last November (#3 also). Notice also the BAIC X7 at #4, the Geely Starship at #7 and the BYD Sealion 05 at #9.
