![]() ![]() Still, Volkswagen Group is also playing to its strengths, placing four models in the top five positions, including a buoyant Audi Q8 e-tron in 3rd! In total, there are 8 Volkswagen Group models in the top 20, including the six-figure Porsche Taycan in #18. With the Tesla Model 3 already in 6th, and probably benefitting from a peak performance in March, we might see Tesla winning 1st and 2nd in Germany by the end of the quarter. Regarding the 2023 table, the Tesla Model Y is well above everyone else, tripling the sales of the new runner-up, the VW ID.3, which jumped from 4th to 2nd last month. Will we see Toyota’s first real effort at a BEV joining the table soon? The 20 Best Selling Electric Vehicles in Germany - January–February 2023 Highlighting the good moment Asian OEMs are having, even Toyota had reasons to celebrate, with its bZ4X SUV scoring a record 464 registrations. The compact crossover is currently BMW’s main hope for a table position, because its smaller EV doesn’t suffer from being close to black holes like its older siblings do ( Tesla Model Y in the case of the i4 and iX3, and Audi Q8 e-tron, in the case of the iX). The best selling BMW, the recently introduced iX1, wasn’t quite able to secure a top 20 position, ending the month in #21. Outside the top 20, we have the VW ID.5 (527 registrations) close to a top 20 position. I wonder what Volker Wissing has to say about this…. It’s also interesting to see that 12 models out of these top 20 were foreign models. The sharp, angular EV is now the most competitive compact model on the market, and a golden standard for present, and future, compact EVs. And unlike other model appearances, this doesn’t look to be a fluke. The streamlined (and Porsche inspired…) sedan was the third musketeer of the brand, along with the veteran Kona EV (16th) and retro-futuristic Ioniq 5 (11th).Īnother sign of the disruption era we are living is the fact that the multi-talented MG 4 hatchback showed up for the first time among the best sellers in Germany, with a record 776 registrations, allowing it to be #15. The highlight was the #20 spot of the new Ioniq 6, which got 581 registrations in its first volume month. The second half of the table had several foreign models shining, especially those coming from Asia, like Hyundai, which placed three representatives in the lower half of the table. If the Model Y is drying up the competition in the midsize category, the Audi is doing the same in the full size one. ![]() ![]() Among them, the highlight is once again the “new” Audi Q8 e-tron, with the big, fat SUV ending the month in 4th, with 1,343 registrations. Not coincidentally, it is one of the few good best PHEVs present on the European market.īut Volkswagen Group has also started the year at full speed, placing three models in the top 5 and six representatives in the first 13 positions. In another sign of the disruptive and historical times we are living in, there is only one PHEV model in the table - the Mercedes C-Class PHEV showing up in #9. That’s a meritable performance from a model currently suffering from the black hole effect of the Tesla Model Y. The surprise was the Model 3 scoring 1,239 registrations, in an off-peak month, allowing it to end the month in 5th. On the broader auto market, the Model Y only trailed the VW Golf. Tesla had another great month, with the Model Y winning the February best seller title without any shadow of a doubt, with 6,442 registrations, and even allowing it to end the month in 2nd overall. The 20 Best Selling Electric Vehicles in Germany - February 2023 Basically, BEVs are becoming the bread and butter of this market, something unthinkable not that long ago.įebruary’s 22% share pulled the year-to-date score to 19% (13% BEV), so a 30% result by year end seems possible. In the month, PHEVs had 11,916 registrations, or 5.8% of the total market. That pulled the market up, quite different from diesel (-7%) and especially PHEVs (-45%!), the latter of which are now suffering from the end of federal incentives. There were 32,475 BEV registrations last month, 16% of the overall market. ![]() The overall German auto market had a positive month in February (+3% year over year), with BEVs being the highlight (+15% YoY). ![]()
