The Station Wagon variant accounts for 77% of Kia Ceed sales in March.

After falling -16.8% in January and -19.4% in February, the Slovak new car market significantly slows down its fall in March at -2.4% to 7,567 registrations. Keep in mind March 2024 was already down -12.4% on the year prior. Brand leaders Skoda (+10.8%) and Kia (+12.6%) defy the negative market with double-digit gains, the former reaching 21% share and the latter 10.3%, both above their YTD levels. Kia overtakes Toyota to reach the 2nd spot over Q1. Volkswagen (-2.7%) matches the market but Toyota (-27.8%), Hyundai (-27.8%) and Nissan (-15.3%) all collapse. Audi (+144.7%), Peugeot (+59%) and Citroen (+29.4%) all shine below.

Over in the models charts, the Skoda Octavia (-4.9%) stays in the first spot above the locally produced Kia Ceed (+47.7%), reproducing the YTD top 2 The Nissan Qashqai (-30.4%) is back up 14 spots on last month to #3 but in stark decline year-on-year. Skoda also places the Karoq (+51%) and Fabia (-38.3%) inside the Top 5. The Skoda Kodiaq (+167.6%) is up spectacularly at #7 with the Skoda Kamiq (+16.4%) and Hyundai Tucson (+14.2%) also excelling in the remainder of the Top 10. The Skoda Elroq is the best-selling newcomer at #33 and we welcome the Renault Symbioz (#120) and Dacia Bigster (#150) in the charts.
