Dacia Sandero is the best-selling car in Europe for 2024

Do you know which car was the best-selling in Europe for the year 2024?

It is neither a Japanese car nor a German compact car, but rather a vehicle from Romania.

More specifically, it is the Dacia Sandero (“good news!” as James May would say).

According to data from industry analyst Jato Dynamics, a total of 268,101 units of the Dacia Sandero were registered in Europe over the past year.

In second place is the Renault Clio, with a difference of over 50,000 units compared to the Dacia Sandero, followed by the Volkswagen Golf, which had 215,715 units sold.

Sales of the most popular model in 2023, the Tesla Model Y, fell by 17 percent to 209,214 units; however, it remains the leader in the category of the most popular electric vehicles.

Speaking of EVs, the market share for these zero-emission vehicles decreased from 15.7 percent in 2023 to 15.4 percent last year, while the percentage for petrol engine models increased from 47.8 percent to 48.4 percent.

The decline in EV sales is attributed to the withdrawal of incentives and the average selling price still being high and unaffordable, according to Jato Dynamics’ analysis.

Meanwhile, demand for hybrid vehicles increased from 9.9 percent to 11.8 percent, while plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) accounted for only 7.3 percent (down from 7.7 percent).

Dacia Sandero is now the best selling car in Europe, surpasses Tesla Model Y

Electric cars are no longer a highly sought-after product.

The increasingly sluggish trend is now causing most EV manufacturers to scratch their heads.

The decline in demand for EVs, which has also affected the European continent, has seen the Tesla Model Y dethroned and no longer the best-selling car.

The latest data from the European Union (EU) revealed that Dacia Sandero emerged as the best-selling car during the period of January to June 2024, with a total of 143,596 units registered.

Dacia Sandero is the top choice for most buyers due to its relatively low selling price, starting from €11,500 (RM56 thousand).

In second place is the VW Golf with 126,993 units, followed by the Renault Clio (114,623 units), VW T-Roc (111,381 units), and Peugeot 208 (107,097 units).

The Tesla Model Y, on the other hand, seems to have to settle for the eighth position with sales totaling 101,181 units for the first six months of this year.
