Hybrid models (mild and full) have a 55% share vs. 27% for petrol, 6% for PHEVs, 4.9% for BEVs (693 sales) and 3.6% for diesel.

Strikingly, the Top 4 brands all defy the market with significant YoY gains. Toyota is up 9.1% to 16.6% share vs. 14.8% year-to-date, Peugeot is up 20.4%, Opel up 36.6% and now #3 YTD and Kia gains 28.7% YoY and 10 spots on March to #4. Dacia (+35.8%) also manages a splendid gain at #7.

Model-wise, the Peugeot 2008 (+46.8%) takes the lead both for the month and YTD, unsettling the Toyota Yaris Cross (+32.4%) also in great shape. The Suzuki Vitara (+32%) is up five ranks on last month to #3 while the Kia Picanto (+22.8%) surges 17 spots to #4. The Hyundai i20 (+80.7%), Opel Corsa (+67%) and Toyota C-HR (+66.7%) are the most dynamic in the Top 10.

In May, new car sales are up 3.7% year-on-year to 16,250 units, which is the highest May volume in 16 years: since 2010. The year-to-date volume is now up 2.8% to 65,305. Hybrids (full and mild) represent 56.1% of the market, petrol is at 29.5%, PHEV at 5.9%, BEVs at 5.9% also and diesel at 2.6%. Toyota (+2.6%) remains by far the most popular carmaker in the country with 16.2% share, almost double the #2 Suzuki (+24.5%) which ascends to #3 YTD. Peugeot (-3.5%) and Hyundai (-6.4%) are in difficulty below but Renault (+79.1%), Dacia (+23.2%) and Fiat (+14.6%) shine.

Over one the models charts, the Toyota Yaris Cross (+52.3%) reclaims the pole position both for the month and year-to-date, with the Peugeot 2008 (+6%) down to #3 in May. The Suzuki Swift (+16.9%) soars from outside the April Top 10 directly to 2nd place but isn’t estimated to crack the YTD Top 10 as a result. The Renault Clio (+138%) and Hyundai i20 (+111.2%) post surreal YoY gains with the Suzuki Vitara (+55%), Dacia Sandero (+19.5%) and Toyota Yaris (+12.6%) also in great shape.
