Last year, the leading hatchbacks fell to second place with a share of 34.7 percent. The third place is held by station wagons with 17 percent.

Cars under the age of five are still 83 percent sold in petrol, but the share of hybrids and electric cars has doubled compared to last year. But it is still only about dozens of pieces. It boosted interest in cars with automatic transmissions from 21 to 26 percent.
“The pandemic period is changing the used car market from the ground up, especially for new cars. Although we have registered an increase in demand of almost 20 percent since the beginning of the year, the supply of the entire market has fallen sharply. The suspension of production and exports abroad have a large share in this trend, “ said Karolína Topolová, CEO of the Aures Holdings group, to which Mototechna belongs.
