The BYD Atto 2 ranks #10 and helps the brand to a new share record

The Turkish new light vehicle market is up a solid 9.8% year-on-year in January to 75,362, however this is not a new January record as January 2024 was above (79,701). Renault (+9.8%) exactly matches the market and confirms it is the new favourite of Turkish customers at 12.3% share vs. 10.5% over the Full Year 2025. Toyota (+65.2%) soars to #2 with 11.5% share vs. 6.8% over FY2025, followed by Volkswagen (+23.4%) and Fiat (+1.9%), disappointing at #4. Ford (-13.6%) clearly underperforms and falls three spots on December to #5. BYD (+40.2%) is back up 7 ranks on last month to reach a new record ranking at #7, eclipsing its previous best of #8 reached last June. KGM (+180.8%), Jaecoo (+124.2%) and Chery (+122.1%) also shine below.

Over in the models charts, the Renault Clio (+54.9%) confirms it is the new favourite of Turkish customers with a splendid 7.5% share vs. just 4.8% over the Full Year 2025 when it also ranked #1. The Toyota Corolla (+67.4%) is also very dynamic at #2, as are the Toyota C-HR (+113.5%) and most impressively the VW Tiguan (+206.4%) tripling its sales year-on-year and up 36 spots on its FY 2025 ranking to #4. Notice also the Nissan Qashqai (+92.7%) and Chery Tiggo 8 (+1666.7%) both landing inside the Top 10. A newcomer, the BYD Atto 2 (aka Yuan Up), delivers a spectacular performance, landing at #10 and helping BYD to its record ranking.

UK January 2026: Jaecoo 7 up to #2

βœ‡Best Selling Cars Blog
By:Matt Gasnier
6 February 2026 at 10:59

The Jaecoo 7 is only outsold by the Kia Sportage in January.

The UK new car market is up 3.4% year-on-year in January to 144,127 units, this is the highest January volume in six years: since pre-pandemic January 2020. Encouragingly, private sales beat the market at +4.5% to 52,397, but remain at a low 36.4% share vs. 36% a year ago. Fleet sales edge up 1.6% to 88,269 and 61.2% share vs. 62.3% in January 2025. Meanwhile business sales are up 46.5% to 3,461. BEV registrations disappoint at +0.1% to 29,654 and 20.6% share vs. 21.3% last year, the lowest since March 2025. HEVs are up 4.8% to 19,297 and 13.4% vs. 13.2%, PHEVs surge 47.3% to 18,557 and 12.9% share vs. 9% but petrol is off -1.9% to 68,757 and 47.7% share vs. 50.3% and diesel down -8.8% to 7,862 and 5.5% share vs. 6.2%.

In the brands ranking, the three best-sellers disappoint with year-on-year drops. Volkswagen (-7.6%) remains by far the most popular carmaker in the country with 8.7% share, consistent with its FY2025 level of 8.8%. Kia (-7.7%), although down significantly, continues on its traditional strong start of years at #2, a ranking it last held in September. BMW (-12.6%) is in trouble but climbs back up to the podium. Audi (+17.1%), Ford (+13.6%, Skoda (+13.1%) and Mercedes (+6.7%) all post solid scores below, whereas Peugeot (-21.6%) and Nissan (-16.7%) struggle. Further down, Chinese fare Jaecoo (+569.9%) ascends to a record ranking (#15) and share (3.4%) and is only 200 sales below MG (-6.6%). Omoda (+211.3%), BYD (+149.1%) and Citroen (+97.5%) also impress. Tesla is down -50.8% to #33 and 0.5% share.

Looking at the models charts, the Kia Sportage (+34.5%) snaps the top spot for the 5th time in the past 13 months, another good start of the year for the crossover. The event of the month is the brilliant 2nd place of the Jaecoo 7, a new record for the nameplate reaching an all time high share at 2.8%. Its previous best was #4 last September. This the 6th consecutive month the Jaecoo 7 is inside the UK Top 10, confirming it is an instant (and surprising) blockbuster here. Leader for the past three years, the Ford Puma (+59.3%) drops to #3 but manages surging year-on-year volumes. The BYD Seal U is up to a record #6, a ranking it also held last September. Strong showing also by the VW Tiguan (+18.8%) and Nissan Juke (+8.5%).

Croatia January 2026: Audi up to record 6th place

βœ‡Best Selling Cars Blog

5 February 2026 at 08:56

Audi holds 4.9% of the Croatian market in January.

The Croatian new car market suffers in January at -11.5% year-on-year to 3,946 units. Skoda (-2.6%) and Volkswagen (-6.2%) both improve their share and are separated by only one sale. Toyota (+13.8%) defies the negative context at #3 like last month, followed by Suzuki (-25%) and Opel (-26.9%) both cratering. Audi (+9.7%) is the only gainer in the remainder of the Top 10, reaching a record 6th place (previous best: #7 in March 2025). Renault (-50.6%), Dacia (-49%), Ford (-30.7%) and Hyundai (-25%) are hit particularly hard below. MG (+120%), Forthing (+106.7%) and Volvo (+24.2%) shine.

Model-wise, the VW T-Cross (-27.8%) is the best-seller like one year ago but sees its sales plunge. The Skoda Octavia (-11.4%) follows the market at #2 while the Suzuki Vitara (-29.8%) is in trouble at #3. In contrast, the VW Tiguan (+37.3%), Skoda Kamiq (+25%) and Suzuki S-Cross (+16.7%) all deliver excellent performances. The MG ZS (+142.9%), Toyota Yaris (+121.7%) and Skoda Karoq (+97.1%) all impress.
