Sweden Car Sales : 2020

Land Rover are doing OK in Sweden

Registrations were -29% in December and -18% YTD. The YTD figure is quite good but not so much December, in part reflective of a strong December last year. The 291,600 sales were over 64,000 down on 2019 and the lowest total since 2013.

Electric and Hybrid passenger cars increased 132% in 2020, 94,000 units the final result. The share these vehicles took went from 11% to 32%. For now, hybrids are increasing faster than full electric cars. The arrival of Volvo's Polestar electric brand had an immediate reaction, with over 1,640 registrations already. The Kabe Husbil is a motorhome so I'm not sure why it's included under passenger cars. Maybe that happens for other brands as well but not in a way it can be detected. 

A definite shift toward the larger selling brands is evident here. Kia and Toyota were about the same as last year while further down, Citroën, Porsche and Land Rover held up well. Renault, Ford, Nissan and Mitsubishi are noticeable for the opposite reason.
