The Toyota Corolla was the best-selling car in Ireland last month but new car sales fell for the fourth year in a row

New car sales for January fell for the fourth year in a row, but there was an increase in electric and hybrid vehicles sales.
There were 31,251, new car registrations last month, a fall of 3.5% on January 2019, figures from the Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) show. “January is the most important selling month for new cars. In this regard, it is very disappointing to see a reduction in new car sales,” Brian Cooke, SIMI director-general said.
