Belgium Passenger Car Sales : 2025 (Jan-Mar)

Registrations were down 5% for March and -14% YTD.  That doesn't sound too good and it isn't as 2024 wasn't very good compared to better years.  

BMW became the best selling marque in 2021 and hasn't reliquished it. The 12.3% for 2025 is its best ever market share in Belgium and year on year improvements in that regard since 2019. 

VW is in second place, a brand that has had the ead on and off for many years. It isn't uncommon for different brands to be at the lead. That makes BMW consistent number one all the more surprising, as is the margin over second placed VW. 

Mercedes-Benz' third place improves its market share, the same applies to Renault. Audi hasn't been as fortunate, dropping from third to fifth. Registrations are down 32% YTD.

Tesla looks not too bad at 15th...until it's compared to last year's 10th ranking. With sales down 58% YTD, it's not going well so far.

For the three months so far Volvo was down 47% and Mazda dropped 52%. MINI was up 60%, Polestar improved its numbers by 68% and BYD gained 91% volume. 

Chinese brands haven't been that successful here so far but some of their increases are impressive but from a low level of sales in 2024.
