The electric Fiat 500 is ahead of the Stromer competition in Europe. And it also benefits from a cyclical Tesla weakness.
The little Italian topped the electric car bestseller list in April. With 5,524 new registrations, the microcar landed ahead of Peugeot e-208 (3,370 units) and Skoda Enyaq (3,645 units), according to market observer Jato. The best-placed model by a German brand was the VW ID.4 with 2982 new registrations in sixth place. The previous month’s leader, the Tesla Model 3, did not make it into the top ten – a well-known pattern at the beginning of the quarter, when the current stock is sold and the new shiploads are not yet in In the plug-in hybrids segment, the Ford Kuga PHEV once again tops the sales charts with 3,413 new registrations. Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2738 units) and Volvo XC40 (2584 units) follow at a considerable distance. The most popular car, regardless of the type of drive, was the Peugeot 208 with 15,615 new registrations. The VW T-Roc (13,998 units) and Dacia Sandero (12,913 units) followed. The all-time bestseller VW Golf didn’t make it into the top ten. (SPX)
