3,687 new cars found a buyer in Croatia in October which equals to a 21.1% year-on-year lift. The year-to-date tally is now up 28.9% to 49,855. Skoda (+25.1%) is the best-selling carmaker for the 4th month in a row, advancing to #2 in the year-to-date charts Renault (+125.2%) posts a stunning gain at #2 but Volkswagen (-23.8%) is in deep trouble at #3.

Toyota (+81%), Dacia (+143.6%) and Kia (+30.7%) all outpace the market below as do Hyundai (+25.9%), BMW (+35.3%) and Mazda (+77.4%) in the remainder of the Top 10.
In the models ranking, the Skoda Octavia drops -2.2% but is back to the pole position for the first time since last July. The Renault Clio (+235%) and Dacia Sandero (+310.7%) both post extravagant year-on-year lifts to complete the podium. The Clio stays #1 year-to-date with a comfortable margin over the Skoda Octavia. The performance of the month is delivered by the Toyota Yaris Cross up to a record 4th place overall, smashing its previous record of #9 hit in May 2022. The Suzuki S-Cross (+90.6%) rounds out the Top 5 as it also does year-to-date.
