The most produced car in Spain in 2017
- We have seen in our previous analyzes that the VW Golf was the most produced car in Germany (and Europe) and that the Toyota Yaris was the most produced car in France. Which is the most produced car in Spain?
- This is the VW Polo (B segment sedan), as for many years. The plant in Pamplona (northern Spain) is the only site that manufactures this model in the European Union. There is a factory in Russia (Kaluga) that manufactures a tri-body version of the Polo but for local demand only. Polo is also made in China, India, Brazil and even Algeria, for local demand.
- 283,000 VW Polo were produced in Europe in 2017 (vs. 323,000 in 2016). The drop in the production volume of Polo in 2017.
- (-40,000 units) is due to the change of generation that took place during the year. Volumes should return to the 300,000 unit level in 2018.
- In Europe 264,000 Polos were sold (compared to 297,000 in 2016). Even with a drop in sales of 33,000 units last year, the Polo remains the third best-selling car on this continent, behind the VW Golf and Renault Clio, but ahead of the Ford Fiesta, Peugeot 208 and Opel Corsa. However, it is possible that the new VW T-Roc and T-Cross (B-segment SUVs) could take customers away from the Polo in the near future.
