The Skoda Enyaq is the best-selling vehicle in Finland in October.

The Finnish new car market slows down its fall in October at “just” -7.6% year-on-year to 5,828 units. This is till the 11th consecutive month of decline and it leads to a year-to-date tally off a daunting -18.5% to 60,100. Toyota (-1.2%) resists well at #1 with 15.3% share vs. 18.1% so far this year and the next three carmakers all defy the market with year-on-year gains: Skoda is up 7.9% to 12.9% share vs. 9.4% year-to-date, Volvo is up 5.9% and Volkswagen up a whopping 38.1% at #4. Nissan (+6.7%) is the only additional gainer in the Top 10 while below Ford (+49.2%), Polestar (+205.3%), BYD (+80.8%), Lexus (+78.3%) and Porsche (+56.6%) impress. Notice also Tesla (-2.7%) back down to #8 with 2.4% share vs. 4.5% year-to-date.

Over in the models charts, after hitting a record #2 last month, the Skoda Enyaq (+2.7%) signs its first ever pole position with 4.5% share vs. #9 and 2.1% so far this year. The Toyota Corolla (-24.6%) climbs back up 8 spots on September to #2 and stays in first place year-to-date despite a ghastly loss (-26.1%). The Toyota Yaris Cross (+17.9%) climbs 12 ranks to #3, keeping the 2nd spot year-to-date with sales up 43.9%. The VW Tiguan (+86.1%), ID.4 (+61.8%), Skoda Kamiq (+434.8%) and Volvo V60 (+74.6%) also manage sensational upticks. The VW ID.7 is up six spots to a record 12th position.
