The Top 20 model sold in Europe (9 months 2020)
- In a European passenger car market down 29.5% over the first nine months of 2020 compared to the same period of 2019, the Volkswagen Golf remains the best-selling car (211,844 units), but it dominates its competitors less like in the past, certainly because the Volkswagen Tiguan (5th with 124,586 units) has taken some of its customers. And the Tiguan cuts a good figure as it sits in fifth place behind the Renault Clio (2nd with 168,035 units), the Peugeot 208 (3rd with 136,004 units) and the Opel Corsa (4th with 135,991 units). Note that the 208 and Corsa which are sharing the same platform and engines sell about as much as each other. Together, they greatly exceed the Volkswagen Golf. Two other B-segment sedans are in the top 10: the Volkswagen Polo (8th with 120,708 units) and Ford Fiesta (9th with 114,375 units). Ford put also the Focus in the top 10 best selling cars (6th with 121,046 units), while the Renault Captur (8th with 118,359 units) and Mercedes Classe A (10th with 110,537 units) enter the Top 10.
- The Dacia Sandero takes the 11th rank with 108,273 units, ahead of the Skoda Octavia, Toyota Yaris, Volkswagen T-Roc and Peugeot 2008. The latest Peugeot seems to bite the Peugeot 3008, whose influence has declined. The Nissan Qashqai is also down significantly from last year. His replacement should be presented in late 2020 or early 2021.
- The VW group remains the leader in Europe (26% market share), ahead of PSA (15%) and Renault-Nissan (14%). Far behind, the Hyundai-Kia group (7%) is ahead of the BMW (7%), Daimler (6%), Toyota (6%), FCA (6%) and Ford (6%) groups.
