By 2025, the VW Group will crush all its competitors in BEV sales in Europe
- The VW Group is crushing all its competitors in BEV sales in Europe by 2025. Over the first eight months of 2025, it has almost doubled its BEV sales in Europe (+83%), to 429,320 units compared to 235,056 over the first eight months of 2024. The VW Group thus occupies almost 30% of the European BEV market compared to almost 20% the previous year.
- This strong growth is primarily due to the recent launch by the German group of new BEV models that have enjoyed a very successful start, such as the Volkswagen ID.7, Skoda Elroq, Audi Q6 e- tron, Cupra Tavascan, and Porsche Macan. The VW Group now offers around fifteen different BEV models under five distinct brands.
- Five models manage to sell nearly 50,000 units each over the cumulative 8 months of 2025, these are VW ID3, VW ID4, VW ID7, Skoda Enyaq, Skoda Elroq, which is an exceptional performance.
- And the German carmaker has not yet launched its B-segment electric models, such as the VW ID Polo (formerly ID2), ID Cross (formerly ID2 X), Skoda Epiq and Cupra Raval, which are expected to see widespread sales from 2026. And that's not even mentioning the future VW ID Up (formerly ID1) in the A segment, which is also expected to see widespread sales from 2027. Further down the line (2028), the VW ID Golf, VW ID Roc, Audi A4 E-Tron, and Audi Q2 E- Tron are expected to appear.
- Stellantis (176,680 units) ranks second in the European BEV market, far behind the VW Group, but ahead of BMW (137,810 units), Tesla (132,512 units), Hyundai-Kia (127,011 units), and Renault (118,199 units). Geely, Mercedes, BYD, Ford, SAIC-MG, Toyota, and Nissan follow. Nissan has practically disappeared from the European BEV market.
