Toyota RAV4 sales are up 105% year-on-year in July.

July is the month of the bi-annual licence plate change in Ireland and traditionally corresponds to the 2nd largest monthly volume in the year. July 2024 is no exception, even if results are a little disappointing this year at -6% year-on-year to 25,705 sales. The year-to-date tally tilts into negative as a result at -0.3% to 104,631. Toyota (-5.2%) is back to #1 in the brands charts, followed by Volkswagen (+4.2%) at 12.8%. Hyundai (-15.6%) is back up five spots on June but struggles year-on-year. It distances Skoda (+21.8%) and Kia (+11.3%) both in excellent shape. BMW (+33.1.%) and Dacia (+14.4%) also shine below, with the latter outselling both Renault (-31.5%) and Peugeot (-15.1%). #1 last month with 34.6% share, Tesla (+395.1%) falls to #21 but surges year-on-year due to execrable year-ago results.

The Hyundai Tucson (-10.9%) is the clear leader with 5.5% share, 2/3 more than the #2, and this despite a year-on-year drop. The Toyota RAV4 (+105%) climbs five ranks on last month to #2 ahead of the VW Tiguan (+54.5%) and Toyota Yaris Cross (+9.6%). In fact there are 8 SUVs inside This month’s Top 10, with the Kia Sportage (+9.6%) at #5, the Skoda Kodiaq (+70.5%) at #7, the Hyundai Kona (-26%) at #9 and the Toyota C-HR (+17.2%) at #10. The two odd ones out are the Skoda Octavia (+47%) at #6 and the Toyota Corolla (+3.7%) at #8.
