The Skoda Kamiq is the best-selling vehicle in North Macedonia in July. Based on data shared with us by our Central European partner CE Auto , the North Macedonian new car market sinks -18.3% year-on-year in July to 624 units, keeping in mind July 2024 was up 56.6% on the year prior. After 7 months, the year-to-date tally stands at 4,236, off -6.3% over the same period last year. This month Skoda monopolises the podium: the Kamiq (+16.7%) climbs to #1 for its first win since December 2023, the Octavia (+100%) soars to #2 and snaps the YTD lead off the Renault Clio and the Scala is up four ranks on June to #3. Leader last month, the Toyota Corolla (+58.8%) falls to #4 but manages a splendid YoY evolution. Notice also the Seat Ibiza at #5, the VW Taigo at #6 and the Geely Coolray delivering its first ever Top 10 finish at #9.
