The VW Golf is the best-selling vehicle in Europe for the 9 months of 2021
- While the Peugeot 208 had been the best-selling car in Europe in the first quarter of 2021, the Volkswagen Golf regained its traditional first place in the cumulative nine months of 2021. This model benefited from the fact that the Volkswagen ID3 and ID4 did not have failed to meet their sales targets - so far - with ID3 in 55th place and ID4 in 93rd place.
- With 800,000 units sold over the first nine months of 2021, battery electric vehicles represent 8.9% of the European passenger car market against 7.7% over the first six months of 2021. Of the top twenty cars sold in Europe out of the first nine month of 2021, only the Tesla Model 3 (18th) is in this ranking and succeeded to become the best-selling car in Europe in September.
- In the overall classification, the Golf is just ahead of the Toyota Yaris, which for the first time manages to climb to second place. Then came the Peugeot 208, the Opel Corsa (which completely outclassed its competitor the Ford Fiesta), the Renault Clio, the Peugeot 2008 and the extremely well placed Dacia Sandero. The Volkswagen T-Roc and Tiguan are in decline, while the Fiat 500 is progressing well, thanks to its electric version which now accounts for 20% of Fiat 500 sales.
- The absence of Audi, BMW and Mercedes models in the top 20 shows that the purchasing power of European customers is not optimal.
