The Croatian new car market surges 33.3% year-on-year in January to 4,461 units. Skoda (+119.2%) holds onto the brands top spot with 13.8% share vs. 11.6% over the Full Year 2023. Opel (+57.2%) is up seven spots on December to #2 with Volkswagen (-14.1%) underperforming at #3. Toyota (+120.8%) and Suzuki (+162%) both post fantastic gains and close out the Top 5.
