- Concerning the 20 most produced models:
The Tesla Model Y being partly imported from China (25% of its European sales), this model is only ninth in the production ranking. It is the VW Tiguan which is the most produced model in Europe in 2023, with 193,000 units over the first 10 months, ahead of the Opel Corsa (183,000 units) and VW Golf (178,000 units). The Corsa is taking advantage of its strong presence in Germany and England to overtake the Golf this year. The Corsa undoubtedly also benefits from the end of the Ford Fiesta: some Fiesta customers have switched to the Corsa. It is to be noted that the Renault Clio (produced in Turkey) and Dacia Sandero(produced in Morocco) are not counted in this ranking of cars produced in Europe (EU + UK + Switzerland + Norway).
