2019 European Automotive Sales by Brand – The Best-Selling Automotive Brands By Sales Volume
After discussing European car sales in 2019 by manufacturer, let’s zoom in on sales at brand level. Volkswagen and Renault are the only brands to sell over a million cars in Europe, while Ford dips below that number. VW sets a new annual sales record in Europe at nearly 1.76 million deliveries, up 2.3% over 2018 and increasing its share to 11.2%. Peugeot improves 0.6% to close in on the #3 spot with just 23,000 sales between Ford and itself.
Mercedes-Benz is the big winner in the brands top-7 at +3.3%, the second time ever above 900,000 sales and its highest annual sales in Europe ever. Its rival BMW is up just 0.9% but also sets a new annual sales record in Europe, while Opel/Vauxhall struggles after the PSA takeover as the French are culling models that are not (yet) based on their own platforms and still rely on GM technology. Opel/Vauxhall is down 8% to just over 800,000 sales, a record low for the brand.
