Top 10: Irish car sales 2020 - winners and losers
New car registrations in Ireland fell to 88,324 units during 2020, a reduction of 24.6% versus 2019’s total. Certainly, such a downturn was largely due to the ongoing pandemic, but the impact varied significantly between brands.
Indeed, some marques managed to buck the trend. Tesla, Porsche and SsangYong all sold more vehicles year-on-year (albeit from low starting points), while Land Rover barely suffered.
At the other end of the spectrum, both Bentley and DS failed to achieve any deliveries. Of the ‘volume’ firms, Opel, Renault and Dacia recorded the largest percentage decreases. The biggest absolute decline of 2,950 units was posted by Nissan.
Despite so much upheaval, the top ten manufacturer list remained almost identical. Volkswagen stayed in first place with 10,689 units and a 12.1% market share, followed once again by Toyota (10,020 / 11.3%) and Hyundai (8,179 / 9.3%). Notably, Škoda (7,417 / 8.4%) climbed to fourth spot, swapping positions with Ford (6,790 / 7.7%).
In a similar vein, the Toyota Corolla was still the country’s most popular model. Hyundai’s Tucson retained the runner-up title, too.
