The domestic Škoda outperformed it year-on-year, with 5,410 registrations 3.6% less than a year ago. Volkswagen experienced a strong drop, its 786 units is an incredible 64.7% less than a year ago. No other top 20 brand fell so badly in November.

But not only Asian brands grew in November. Overall, the 11th Opel reports growth of 46%, the 8th Mercedes grew by 12.9%. The Cupra brand was also successful, Seatu’s sister was one of the top twenty brands on the market for the first time, and finished nineteenth with 115 registrations. Mazda also grew strongly, 195 registered units were 34.5% more than a year ago.

The unexpected result can then be found in the November ranking of models. The Hyundai i30, whose 1,150 registered units were 45.2% more than a year ago, took second place, usually occupied by a Škoda model. He almost overtook the Škoda Octavia, which returned to first place, with 1,223 pieces. But that was 9.5% less than a year ago. The Škoda Fabia finished third, with 1,096 registrations being exactly the same number as last November.

Peugeot 2008 (+ 102.8%) and Škoda Karoq (+ 79.4%) also grew strongly in November. Of the top twenty models, Opel Mokka or the 18th place of Hyundai Bayon deserves to be mentioned. In recent months, Mokka has proven that she likes the style of her second generation, and the Korean cross-country urban crossover proves that it has arrived on the market as an indirect replacement for the once popular ix20. The twentieth Volkswagen Golf with a year-on-year decline of 86.5% is one of the reasons for the weak November for this German brand.

After eleven months of the year, it turns out that a strong start to the year offset the weaker results of recent months. From January to November 2021, 190,668 cars were registered in the Czech Republic, 4.4% more than a year ago.

The already mentioned Koreans are growing strongly this year, the second Hyundai by 27.2%, the fifth Kia by 19.3%. The ninth Seat (+ 63%) also scores, as does the thirteenth Opel (+ 30.6%) or the sixteenth Mazda (+ 42.4%). Nissan is also returning to prominence, growing by 105.9% year-on-year after a weak year last year. Over the eleven months of the year, domestic Škoda reports a slight decline of 4.6%.
