Car Sales By Brand Latvia : 2014

Ever since the year 2000, VW and Toyota have vied for the top spot. VW gained it in 2000, Toyota took it in 2002 and VW got it back in 2011 and kept it since. For 2014, VW looks good with a 17% increase in sales, but the total was up by the same percentage. The next five brands all improved their market share so will be happy to close the gap on VW. On the other side of the ledger, Hyundai had a shocker and likewise Chevrolet as the latter is leaving Europe.

Models: The Golf is VW's top model but sales were up a mere 5%. Toyota benefited with a 49% increase for the RAV4 and was the largest selling model for the brand. For Škoda the Yeti over doubled it's sales to be the strongest model. The Nissan Qashqai climbed 141% and was the best selling car for them.
