The UK car market is not the only one enduring a car production slump. Europe is also recording year-on-year decline but the downshift is also seeing a change in contenders at the top of the best-selling charts. The Peugeot 208 is now Europe’s most popular car, knocking the VW Golf off its perch.
And perhaps surprisingly, the Golf hasn’t fallen to second place, but fifth, with the Dacia Sandero in second place, the T-Roc - Europe’s best-selling SUV - and the Fiat 500, primarily in its electric guise, completing the table.
Felipe Munoz, global analyst at JATO Dynamics, which released the report, said: “The success of the Golf is owed to the fact that it was able to meet the needs of a wide range of consumers without leading in any given parameter. But times change, and today consumer priorities are quite different from some years ago.”
These days, there’s a greater selection of cars available at the Golf’s price point. Often VW is up against its own stablemates. The T-Roc, Cupra Formentor, SEAT Ateca and Skoda Karoq all rival the hatchbacks' smaller proportions with their SUV appeal and, usually with generous levels of standard kit to boot
