Passenger car registration up by 8.8% in February – Samar

The number of new registrations of passenger cars and vans in Poland in February amounted to 46,870, according to data from sector research firm Samar. The figure grew by 8.8 percent year-on-year and fell by 8.17 percent month-on-month. This was the 35th consecutive month of growth. “Considering the number of new registrations, it was the best February in the 21st century. Until recently, in the first months of the year, a larger group of buyers were individual customers, who were buying models from the previous year on sale. However, individual buyers who for a long time constitute a distinct minority among customers of car dealerships, buy cars mainly on the used car market. In February this year the companies bought almost 12 percent more cars than the year before,” Samar said. The top-selling car models in Poland this year are the Skoda Fabia and Skoda Octavia, followed by Toyota Yaris.
