Comparing top ten models within Europe for the last 15 years shows that there was not much change. Only 16 models have that distinction. 4 models were there every year and all the cars listed below were there at least 10 times (see Col 2). Only 4 have been number one (see Col 3), the VW Golf 9 times. Col 4 shows the highest ranking reached, the GM Corsa only reaching 4th as its best spot.
Rk | Model | Col 2 | Col 3 | Col 4 |
1 | VW Golf | 15 | 9 | 1st |
2 | GM Astra | 15 | 2 | 1st |
3 | Renault Clio | 15 | - | 2nd |
4 | Ford Esc/Foc | 15 | - | 3rd |
5 | GM Corsa | 14 | - | 4th |
6 | Fiat Punto | 13 | 1 | 1st |
7 | VW Polo | 12 | - | 3rd |
8 | Peugeot 206/7 | 11 | 3 | 1st |
9 | Renault Megane | 10 | - | 2nd |
10 | Ford Fiesta | 10 | - | 2nd |
Many of these car models will be popular for fleet buyers, which gives them sales consistency. The Ford Escort/Focus is the most even, for 15 years falling between 3rd and 8th.
In summary: Over 15 years, little has changed and I cannot see much changing in the top selling models in Europe for the future either.
