The Cupra Formentor is inside the Polish Top 10 in January.

It’s a tough start of the year for the Polish new car market at -9% year-on-year in January to 40,284 units. Toyota (-12.7%) falls heavily but scores a superb 19.5% share. It is followed by Skoda (+6.3%) defying the negative context with a sturdy gain. Volkswagen (-3.6%) and Audi (-7.8%) resist somewhat while BMW (+9.6%) is back up three spots on last month to round out the Top 5. Lexus (-40.8%) collapses on a record year-ago result and Kia (-38.6%) also freefalls. Dacia (-7.9%) stays at #9. At #10, Cupra (+1.8%) breaks into the Polish Top 10 for the second time ever after also hitting #10 in August 2023. Omoda (+205%) breaks into the Top 15 for the first time at #15.

Model-wise, the Toyota Corolla (-5.1%) reclaims the top spot it held over the Full Year 2025 with a very strong 5.3% share vs. 2.9% in December and 3.9% over FY2025. The Skoda Octavia (+9.7%) is relegated to #2 but is solid YoY, followed by a surging Toyota Yaris Cross (+21.2%). Toyota places no less than five models inside the January Top 6: add the C-HR (-38.1%), RAV4 (-11.4%) and Yaris (-14.9%). The Cupra Formentor (+25.2%) lodges its first Top 10 finish since August 2024 (#8). Notice also the Toyota Corolla Cross (+50.9%), Aygo X (+47%) and Skoda Kamiq (+13.5%) all delivering fantastic results.
