Seat Ibiza sales are up 300% year-on-year in February.

20,010 new cars found a buyer in Austria in February, a robust 11.8% year-on-year improvement. This tilts the year-to-date volume into positive territory at +2.2% to 37,562. Volkswagen (+24.7%) easily beats the market to top the brands charts again at 15.4% share. It distances Skoda (+6.1%), a little weak, BMW (+24.2%) and Seat (+57.3%) both very strong. Dacia (+10.1%) can’t quite catch up with the market growth but advances one spot on January to #5 overall. Suzuki (+151.2%) is the biggest gainer in the Top 10 with Toyota (+13.3%) also solid at #8. Tesla (+2.7%) is pushy but climbs back up 4 spots on last month to #9. Peugeot (+88.8%) and Mazda (+45.9%) also impress below.

In the modes ranking, after waiting almost 3 years to sport the pole position last month, the VW Golf (+98.1%) doubles its sales year-on-year to repeat at #1 with 4.7% share. The Skoda Octavia (+64.3%) is not far behind however. The Seat Ibiza (+300%) surges year-on-year to remain in third place vs. #12 over the Full Year 2023. The Tesla Model Y (+8.5%) lodges a modest lift to #4 overall, distancing the Dacia Duster (+86.2%) and Sandero (-13.4%). The VW Polo (+162.6%), VW Bus (+67.8%) and BMW X1 (+62.2%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10.
