The Peugeot 208 is the best-selling vehicle in Portugal in January.

16,839 new cars found a buyer in Portugal in January, a very impressive 16.1% year-on-year improvement. Peugeot (+84.7%) surges ahead to reclaim the pole position it held over the Full Year 2025, reaching a stunning 15.6% share, its highest since the 15.7% it reached in February 2022. Mercedes (+30.8%) also returns to its FY2025 level at #2. The premium manufacturer distances BMW (+25.1%) up six spots on last month to #3, Toyota (-13.1%) and a surging Citroen (+84.2%) up 9 ranks on December to #5. Dacia (-36.5%) and Renault (-13.1%) pay for a particularly high year-ago (and month-ago) result. MG (+190.9%) breaks into the Top 10 for the first time at #10. 

Model-wise, the Peugeot 208 (+216.6%) triples its sales year-on-year to land in first place for the first time since February 2025. Peugeot manages a 1-2 with the 2008 (+110.9%) at #2. The Opel Corsa (+26.7%)  is up 27 spots on last month to #3 ahead of the Mercedes A-Class (+82%) and Tesla Model Y (+528.8%) up to a surprising #5 in a start of quarter. The Toyota C-HR (+123%) and Citroen C3 (+55.1%) brilliantly round out the Top 10. The best-selling new launch is the Citroen C3 Aircross at #12. Notice also the MG ZS (+548.7%) up to #15 and the MG 3 (+1754.5%) up to #21.
