The Hyundai i30 holds 8.1% of the Slovak market in May, a new record.

New car sales in Slovakia see their fall accelerate to -17.3% year-on-year in May to 6,650 units, yet thanks to a strong start of the year, the year-to-date tally is in positive at +5.6% to 31,929 units. After being toppled by Hyundai for the first time in history last month, Skoda (-38.6%) reclaims the brands top spot with 16.2% share and despite a devastating year-on-year loss. Hyundai (+18.8%) continues to go all guns blazing with a very strong gain to 14.9% share vs. 13% so far this year. The Top 5 is unchanged on last month and year-to-date with Kia (+0.3%) and Toyota (+17.1%) shining and Volkswagen (-11.8%) in negative but less than the market. The remainder of the Top 10 is down, with BMW (-13.8%) and Dacia (-18%) resisting best but Mercedes (-25.2%), Opel (-27.3%) and Peugeot (-33.8%) losing share year-on-year.

Model-wise, the Hyundai i30 easily tops the ranking with 8.1% of the market, marking a fourth consecutive monthly win and a new record share. In fact the Top 5 is unchanged on last month with the Kia Ceed (5.8%), Skoda Fabia (3.6%), Kia Sportage (3.4%) and Hyundai Tucson (2.9%) in tow. The Toyota RAV4 surges 13 spots on April to land at #6, now also its YTD ranking. The Skoda Kamiq is up 7 ranks to #7 vs. #9 YTD, the Skoda Superb is up 3 spots to #8 vs. #15 YTD while the Skoda Scala and Toyota Corolla close out the Top 10 but all drop down the ladder compared to last month.
