The Ateca helps lift Cupra to its highest share ever in Poland.

The Polish new car market is robust in October at +17.3% year-on-year to 47,013 units. This is particularly satisfying given October 2023 was already up 28% on the year prior. As a result the year-to-date volume is now up 14.3% to 437,029. Toyota (+4.5%) trails the market but still signs a strong 18.8% share, just above the 18.7% it holds year-to-date. Skoda (+22.7%) and Volkswagen (+54.5%) for their part post fantastic scores to complete the podium. In fact the entire Top 10 is identical to the year-to-date ranking. Dacia (+37.6%), Hyundai (+23.2%) and Mercedes (+19.4%) are the most dynamic followed by BMW (+14.6%), Audi (+13.5%) and Renault (+4.5%). Cupra is up to #11 with a record 3.4% share while Ford (+87.1%) and Lexus (+49.4%) both surge ahead.

Model-wise, the Toyota Corolla (-27.4%) keeps the lead despite a hefty year-on-year loss at 4.4% share. Toyota monopolises the Polish podium this month with the C-HR (+70.8%) at #2 and the Yaris (+168.5%) at #3. As a result the C-HR advances to #5 year-to-date. The Kia Sportage (+17.4%) matches the market at #4 while the Toyota Yaris Cross (+9.8%) and Skoda Octavia (+13.5%) are weaker. The Dacia Duster (+65.7%) takes advantage of the new generation at #8 just as the Skoda Superb (+107.9%) scores its 2nd Top 10 finish of the year after #10 in June and at #9 its highest ranking since March 2020 (#6). The Cupra Ateca appears out of nowhere to crack the Top 50 for the first time, landing directly at #11.
