It distances a surging Hyundai (+99%) at 15.8% share vs. 8.4% year-to-date. Toyota (-10.6%) rounds out the podium and falls significantly slower than the market. Audi (+71%), Dacia (+45%) and Renault (+9.1%) stand out with splendid gains in the remainder of the Top 10 with Porsche (+28.6%), Honda (+18.2%) and Mazda (+57.1%) also strong below. 

Model-wise, the Hyundai Tucson (+160.3%) repeats at #1 with a stunning 12.6% share, more than double its YTD level of 5.9%. The Kia Stonic (+43.1%) is up one spot on April to #2 and snaps the year-to-date lead in the process. The rest of the Top 5 is entirely in positive with the VW T-Roc (+22.6%) the most dynamic ahead of the Kia Sportage (+19%) and Nissan Qashqai (+19%).
