The figures show SKODA in a record sixth position in the Irish car market with 7.1 percent market share. This brings them a step closer to achieving their target of 8 percent market share.
SKODA attribute growth this year to a number of factors including the opening of four new dealerships: Spirit SKODA in Sandyford, Brady's Cavan, Mullingar Autos and Michael Moore Car Sales in Athlone, bringing the brand's dealer network to 25. Another factor is the availability of SKODA finance offers through Volkswagen Bank.
The car company are expecting increased sales with the arrival of the Octavia Scout and Octavia L&K in July, and a new Fabia supermini early next year.
