Midsize Car Sales In Europe – 2015 Year End

Sales of midsized cars have rebounded hard in 2015 from over a decade of losses to add over 100.000 units of volume in 2015, an increase of 20% to 619,474 sales. That’s still just over a third of the almost 1.8 million non-premium midsized cars sold in 2001. Two renewed models carry all of the segment increase: the Volkswagen Passat and the Ford Mondeo.

The Passat adds almost half to its 2014 volume to take 36.5% share of the segment. It is the only model in the segment above 200,000 sales, and even the only model above 100,000 sales for that matter. Its closest competitor Opel/Vauxhall Insignia drops 4%, which is not too bad considering there are now two fresher competitors around.
