>According to data provided by Jato Dynamics for 28 European countries, 6,847,842 cars were registered between January and June 2024, compared to 6,559,213 cars in the first half of 2023.
Interesting that the Tesla model 3 isn’t in the list, whereas the Y is on number 8. Never knew it was so much more popular (although the predictions were right in that case)
Only one electric car in the list (Model Y) and that also recorded -26% fall vs last year. I wonder where those buyers went and what they bought instead? VW Golf has seen healthy increase. Seems people finally embraced the 8th generation.
I saw a thing the other day explaining that all – or most brand new cars have a system where all the parts of the car contain chips, meaning that in the event of a new part being needed, only original parts can be fitted or else the car won’t start. Plus, all the work needs to be done at the dealers workshop because of the computers that plug into the car to program it to accept new parts has to be connected to the dealers’ database/ network.
In fact, it happened to youtuber SamCrac. He bought a flood damaged Bentley, but he couldn’t replace any parts because they would throw up an ‘invalid VIN’ error and just repeatedly set the cars alarm off. He had to get rid of it in the end.
Just looking at how far out of line Ireland is with this:
1. Hyundai Tucson
2. Skoda Octavia
3. Kia Sportage
4. Toyota RAV 4
5. Toyota Yaris Cross
6. Toyota Corolla
7. Volkswagen Tiguan
8. Hyundai Kona
9. Toyota Yaris
10. Skoda Kodiaq
11. Volkswagen Golf
12. Toyota C-HR
13. Dacia Sandero
14. Nissan Qashqai
15. Nissan Juke
16. Volkswagen T-Roc
17. Toyota Corolla Cross
18. Volkswagen Polo
19. Ford Puma
20. Volkswagen ID.4
21. Hyundai i20
22. Skoda Karoq
23. Dacia Duster
24. Peugeot 3008
25. Ford Focus
VW in deep crisis, but has 2 cars in top 5 🤔
Well.. I can’t afford a new electric car or even a good 2nd hand one. Saw that the new Volvo was priced at around 90k eur. But then again, selling less product at higher prices is usually a better deal than the reverse.
Great news. The Dacia Sadero it’s about to become the most popular car 🚗 in Europe 🇪🇺 😂.
VW despite trying their hardest still sells 2nd most cars
Also VW: wE hAvE tO cLoSe FaCiLitIeS
Insane mismanagement
One thing which is quite clear, is we like our cars to be cheap. If EVs are going to sell in massive quantities, we need cheaper models.
Damn, no SEAT
Didn’t expect golf there. They are so expensive nowadays
I had a 2000 Toyota Echo (same thing as a Yaris) and it’s the best car I ever had. 40 mpg and very reliable. Even towed a utility trailer with it frequently. US drivers should move to more efficient vehicles but all I see is people using giant pickup trucks to go get their groceries.
Yugo is still the best
GOOD NEWS!
Glad to see not that many bigass volvo or audi SUV’s in this list.
Looks like tesla is also getting bashed there. The honeymoon period fascination is fast wearing off

My mustang Mach XE ain’t listen 😀
No wonder people are depressed.
It’s calming to know that most purchased cars in europe are still european cars.
Those Dacia are all Uber drivers.
Are the figures the numbers sold or the prices? If the numbers, can we have the prices?
It’s a true shame Tesla is relatively high on this list.
I would personally never want to have any connection with the brand and will avoid all of Musk’s products like the plague, for the simple reason him being a toxic narcissist a-hole who doesn’t deserve any attention or support.
My mom got a new Yaris Cross last year. Not a bad car, but not worth 116k PLN/27k Euro in my opinion (medium model hybrid). But hey, 4.4l/100km average. Despite that, my dad is already planning LPG conversion
Octavia truly pushed out Passat to nothingness
Hah!
It turns out that people want to see racional financial spending in the car market. There is no need to put so much emphasis on premium cars.
And then European car makers say people don’t want their huge expensive EV. Maybe they should take a look at this list and lear what kind of cars Europeans buy.

I had no idea french cars were selling that good
Would like to see sweden. No volvo or Kia?
(Enthusiastically) It’s the new Dacia Sandero
I thought the fiat 500 was discontinued?
Das Panda
Good news!
Was expecting to see Volvo there for some reason.
