According to a study by Jato Dynamics, 2.73 million new cars were registered in the first quarter of this year.
A sales volume that we had not seen since 1985. The main reason for this decline is the semiconductor crisis, not due to that of the Covid as we are constantly trying to make us believe, but rather to its hygienist and precautionary management.
The supply and production problems linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine obviously did not help matters.
The market is moving towards electrification (+10%, with two Tesla models in the top 3, probably mainly thanks to sales to businesses and independents) and a sharp decline in diesel (-39%).
It should also be noted that Stellantis places 4 of its models in the top 10. Finally, SUVs and other crossovers are ultimately poorly represented.
The top 10 of the first quarter of 2022:
1 Tesla Model 3
2 Peugeot 208
3 Tesla Model Y
4 Volkswagen Golf
5 Dacia Sandero
6 Citroen C3
7Fiat 500
8 Ford Puma
