DThe new car market performed well in the first half of 2021. Although Germany was partially blocked at the time, there were nearly 1.4 million new registrations, an increase of 14.9% compared to the first six months of last year. Demand for pure electric vehicles is also increasing, with over 33,000 new electric vehicles registered in June alone, four times the number in June last year. The currently approved ratio has reached an impressive 12.2%. The number of plug-in hybrid vehicles is also roughly the same.
If you look at these brands individually, the dark red numbers are particularly obvious for Mitsubishi, Jaguar, Honda and DS, and the red numbers for all these brands are more than 20%.Good recovery appears OpelAn increase of 39.3%. In a half-year comparison, Smart and Tesla, which have only three-digit growth rates, performed better. So far, Mini’s car sales are also one-third more than in 2020. The dominant vehicle form is still SUV, and almost a quarter of new vehicles belong to it.
When viewed individually, Volkswagen can erase almost everything as usual. Golf, Tiguan, Passat and T-Roc occupy the top four, although the gap between golf and Tiguan is still relatively large. The best non-Volkswagen car is the Opel Corsa at No. 5, followed by Fiat Ducato. The RV boom has reached the height of these statistics for some time. The top ten just missed the Audi A6 and Audi A3, each with 18,000 vehicles.
By the way, there are 13 cars from the Volkswagen Group in the top 20, of which the Ford Kuga ranks 20th with 15,244 cars, ahead of Hyundai Kona, which is the best-selling car in Asia. The master Opel Astra, who had previously subscribed to the second place in golf, still ranked 15th. The future golf, electric ID.3, has sold nearly 13,000 units, which is among the best in electric vehicles, but it has to stand up and be defeated by the new compact Tesla 3. This is also the reason why Tesla has achieved a huge leap. . Due to model changes, Tesla S and X almost no longer appear. The used car market grew by 5.2%. More than 3.36 million cars changed hands.
