Croatia March 2026: Renault and Clio in the lead, Opel up 119.2%
The Opel Frontera is up to #7 in Croatia in March.
It’s another very strong result for new car sales in Croatia at +26.6% in May to 7,929 registrations. This way, the Q1 volume is up 11.8% to 16,738. Like a year ago, Renault (+8.5%) is the favourite brand in the country, this time with 12.2% share which is 2 percentage points below its year-ago level. Skoda (+20.5%) is bumped down to #2 ahead of a timid Volkswagen (+13.8%). Opel (+119.2%) once again stands out and is up three spots on February to #4. BMW (+90.5%), Hyundai (+51.2%) and Toyota (+32%) also outpace the surging market in the remainder of the Top 10. Below, BYD (+2210%) smashes all its records at #12 with 231 sales and 2.9% share.
Model-wise, the Renault Clio (+3.3%) signs its first win since last April and leaps up to #4 year-to-date, a ranking it also held over the Full Year 2025. The Skoda Octavia (-3%) is relegated to 2nd place but holds onto the YTD pole position. The Renault Captur (+11.9%) comes from outside the February Top 20 directly into third place and is #6 year-to-date despite falling year-on-year. The VW T-Cross (-1.6%) and Suzuki Vitara (+12.3%) round out the Top 5 but both underperform. The Opel Mokka (+294.3%) multiplies its sales by 4 year-on-year while the new Opel Frontera is up to #7, its 2nd highest ranking below the #6 it hit last November.
