The German PC market increased by 2.9% in 2014 (2/2-Carmakers)
- In 2014, the manufacturers that made the most progress on the German market were the Renault-Nissan, Ford, Volkswagen and Fiat-Chrysler (FCA) groups. Some manufacturers sold less in 2014 than in 2013 such as Hyundai-Kia, Daimler, GM and Toyota.
- In terms of volume, the Volkswagen Group that has been the leader in this market for many years now, largely dominated all of its competitors (1.2 million units in 2014), the second manufacturer (Daimler AG) is four times smaller than the the leading group ... The BMW, GM, Renault-Nissan and Ford groups followed each other closely. Let us note that the strongest growth is to be awarded to the Renault-Nissan group with the arrival of the new Twingo, the progression of the Captur (which has no competitors from the VW group), the Note and Micra. The Franco-Japanese group now heels GM, this group is currently suffering from the future termination of the Chevrolet brand. The GM group could be overtaken in 2015 by Renault-Nissan or Ford.
- As regards to models, it is indeed the VW Golf which remains by far the market leader in Germany (255 000 sales), ahead of two other VW models, the Passat (72 000 sales) and Polo (68 000 sales). The Audi A3 thanks to its multiple versions (3 door, 4 door, 5 door, convertible) is ranked in fourth place(65 000 sales), ahead of the VW Tiguan (62 000 sales), the leading SUV in the market. The sixth and seventh place are held by two premium sedans from segment D, the Mercedes C-Class (60 000 sales) and BMW 3 Series (56 000 sales), which outperformed the best-selling Opel, the Corsa (55 000 sales).
