Tesla Model Y became the best-selling car in Europe
For many years, Volkswagen Golf left its mark on the list of best selling cars in Europe. Last year, the Peugeot 208 took over the 13-year throne of Golf. Moving on this year, the leadership of the Peugeot 208 is threatened by an electric car.
According to the latest reports, Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car in Europe in February. Reaching 18,446 sales units compared to the same period of the previous year, the electric car has increased by 173 percent, thus proving its claim in the market.
In February, the leading Tesla Model Y is followed by the affordable Dacia Sandero. With 18,431 units, Sandero passed to Model Y with a small margin, revealing Dacia’s success in recent years. Last year’s leader Peugeot 208 ranks third on the list. Volkswagen T-Roc and Opel Corsa follow Peugeot 208. Volkswagen Golf, which has been the leader for many years, can only rank ninth on the list.
