The VW Tiguan (+285%) is up to #2 ahead of the Skoda Octavia (+174.1%), Kia Sportage (+54.3%) and Toyota RAV4 (+335.7%) all sporting fantastic gains. The Nissan Leaf comes out of nowhere directly into 6th place vs. #84 year-to-date. #1 last month, the Skoda Kodiaq (+95.5%) falls to #10 but still soars year-on-year.
