Are the SUVs surpassing the sedans in the B segment in Europe?
B-segment SUVs have grown a lot in recent years to complement the SUV offering. It is especially the case in Europe as B-segment SUVs have some success, grabbing a lot on the B-segment sedans market. Are the SUVs dethroning the sedans from the main carmakers in Europe?
