The Hyundai i20 sees its sales jump 171.1% year-on-year in May.

7,651 new cars found a buyer in Slovakia in May, a correct 4.9% year-on-year improvement. The YTD tally remains in negative however at -5.3% to 36,350. Once again brand leaders Skoda (+10.2%) and Kia (+25%) both outpace the market to 21.8% and 9.4% share respectively. Volkswagen (-6.8%) struggles but is just one sale below Kia while Toyota (-20%), also in poor form, is 11 units further down. Below a lukewarm Hyundai (+2.2%), Dacia (-15.7%) rallies back up 6 spots on April but endures a steep YoY fall. Ford (+124.3%), Peugeot (+68.9%) and Citroen (+61.6%) all surge ahead. 

Over in the models charts, the Skoda Octavia (+3.6%) easily retains the pole position with 5.3% share ahead of the Kia Ceed (+91.4%). Note 63% of Octavia and 74% of Ceed customers go for the station wagon version. The Skoda Fabia (+10.8%) closes out the podium as it did last month and YTD. The Hyundai i20 (+171.1%) shoots up to #4, its best ranking since June 2023 when it was also #4. Skoda places the Karoq (+19.7%) at #5, the Kodiaq (+1.1%) at #6, the Kamiq (-1.6%) at #8 and the Scala (-18.7%) at #10. The Hyundai Tucson (+39%) is up two spots on last month to #9.
