Czech Rep Sales - Brand / Jan-Jun 2016

Sales of cars combined with light commercial vehicles were up 17.1% in the first six months of 2016. Would it surprise you that local make Škoda not only matched it but exceeded the increase by 3%? That's what happened, giving it market share of 30.7% and the highest since 2007. Total Czech sales look likely to exceed last year's record.

Of the better selling brands, nothing much happened except for Mercedes-Benz 20% gain in share and moving up three places into 10th spot. Jaguar is a much smaller premium marque than the afore mentioned, but sales for half of 2016 have already eclipsed the full 2015 figure.
