Great statistic when the available diesel/petrol engine choices are a joke.

Ugh, more stupid SUV’S.

America needs models like these. Sigh. Would eat up that Yaris Cross in a heartbeat.

so bad, many years ago, we used to buy Audis, Mercedes and BMWs, now we buy less-quality cars more expensive than before

I think this shows how easy it is for car enthusiasts to become completely out of touch with what people want.
I wouldn’t have thought for a second anyone would want a T-Roc or Yaris Cross when the Golf and Yaris exist.
I’d also love to know who is buying the Corsa. Is it some mass fleet purchase? Is there somewhere where there’s a particular reason they sell? In a crowded market what makes someone decide to buy a Corsa?

Great News!
Dacia Sandero…

Hate those SUVs. Why do people buy those? Expensive, way too large, … I don‘t get it.

Good that no EV made it to that list

Not one sedan or station wagon 🥺

they are asking to much money, they can sell more than that, but they need to change the interior aesthetics

I can’t comprehend how the f people still buy from VW. They felt scammy and overpriced even before the emission scandal and their software doesn’t work well in my experience.

What is with the SUV hate? The minority here dont seem to understand that they’re practical.

Here is the caption for we who aren’t knowledgable in the automotive industry :
* ICE : Internal Combustion Engine
* MHEV : Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (runs like a HEV, but can’t run on electric power alone)
* BEV : Battery Electric Vehicle
* HEV : Hybrid Electric Vehicle
* PHEV : Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle
Some key points for those who didn’t read the article :
>New passenger vehicle registrations in Europe increased by 5% in August 2025 to 790,000 cars but sales volumes remained below 2023 levels. Battery electric vehicle sales grew 27% for a record 20.2% market share.
[…] Chinese brands more than doubled sales, with MG and BYD leading strong gains that placed them ahead of several established marques.
[…] The market share of SUVs increased to 57%, which makes the vaguely-defined category increasingly meaningless.
[…] By brand, MG registered more new cars than both Tesla and Fiat in August 2025. BYD was ahead of Suzuki and Jeep, and Jaecoo and Omoda outsold brands including Alfa Romeo and Mitsubishi. “European consumers are responding positively to the growing, competitive line-up from China’s car brands,” Munoz continued. “It appears that these brands have successfully tackled the perception and awareness issues they have experienced.”
Without surprise, with the US internal market closing to PRC goods, the flow is redirected to the EU’s.

For those who also think it’s not obvious:
– ICE: Internal Combustion Engine
– MHEV: Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle
– BEV: Battery Electric Vehicle
– HEV: Hybrid Electric Vehicle
– PHEV: Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

I am actually pleasantly surprised by the hatchbacks. I love small, compact hatchs and I get a lot of raised eyebrows for it

None of those cars are on my bucketlist. I wonder why they are popular.
randomUser_randomSHA on
But then again, none is EV. Why are we then so worried about China? Which trend am I not seeing?
Timauris on
Still, BEV’s represented 20% of all new sold cars, which is a 4% increase from August last year. It just does not come up in this graph.

We’ve got a Citroen C3 Aircross MHEV on order right now. Really like their new model, though partly because it’s convenient since we lease and were already with Stellantis anyway.

Y’all remember when the Tesla Model 3 then Model Y were the best selling cars in Europe? Well yeah that ain’t never coming back

T-Roc automatic dsg is so disgusting rubber-banding peace of shite, people literally are buying something that horrendous.
Yaris cross hybrid on the other hand drives lovely, so easy to drive smoothly, my wife could drive it without spilling a cup of coffee.
Manual Dacia though is simply pure love.

What a sad state of afair… almost no eletric vehicles. Europe is dropping the ball.
