by Despite the shortage of new cars (and it really exists), 9.3 thousand new cars were sold in September – this is 20.3% higher than last year’s figures for the same period.
According to AUTO-Consulting, compared to August, sales increased by only 10.5%, even though September figures are usually much higher than those of the holiday and festive August. This indicates that dealers have begun to experience an acute shortage of popular models. And this also explains the rapid rearrangements among the leading brands.
Thus, in September, Toyota took the first place, whose dealers managed to increase sales by 22%. However, in the Renault network, there was a noticeable shortage of certain models, and the final result was at the level of August sales. Volkswagen dealers traded very actively in September, resulting in 4th place in the market and a sales increase of +21.7%. For the same reason, Mitsubishi managed to become #5 in September, growing sales by 18%. Hyundai sales also increased (+26.7%) with an immediate growth of +3 positions.
