Passenger car registration soars in January – Samar

The number of new registrations of passenger cars and vans in Poland in January amounted to 51,039, according to data from sector research firm Samar. The figure grew by 21.7 percent year-on-year and fell by 5.88 percent month-on-month. This was the 34th consecutive month of growth. “This was the best January in this century in terms of sales of passenger cars and vans. The high sales, which have been maintained for almost three years, are mainly due to high activity on the part of the institutional customer. For a long time, it was the company's clients that were the driving force behind the registration of new cars. Interestingly, also in January, the share of companies was exceptionally high for this month and exceeded the 60 percent ceiling for the first time,” Samar said. The top-selling car models in Poland this year are the Skoda Fabia and Skoda Octavia, followed by Toyota Yaris.
