In brief
- Škoda retained the top position in Lithuania's new car market for a second consecutive month.
- Overall new car registrations fell 5.5% in October 2026, ending a growth period that began in August 2024.
- Dealers expect a strong close to the year and possibly a record annual result.
Škoda keeps the top spot
Market leaders nonetheless say they expect a strong end to the year, which could bring another sales record („Škoda“ įsitvirtina su nauju rekordu, prekybininkai nedramatizuoja po 25 mėnesių sustojusio augimo – vz.lt).
Growth streak ends
Registrations had risen from August 2024 until October 2026. Dealers are not treating the October dip as a turning point, pointing to the fact that October 2025 was a high base, when 4.323 cars were registered.
Brand standings
