Germany Passenger Car Sales : 2025 (Jan-Mar)

Registrations were down 4% for March and -4% YTD.  That doesn't sound too much but 2024 was already down some way below some of the better year's averages. 

VW leads the way and it is gaining ground. Sales were up 6.4% YTD so nearly a 10% gain in market share. Mercedes-Benz and BMW have almost held their share while Audi has gained slightly on them but still somewhat behind. 

Škoda is up slightly as is Ford. Toyota has been dropping around Europe and in Germany has dropped three places to eleventh. 

Chinese companies are here but are yet to make much of an impact. The British brand MG is back on 24th and BYD 26th, the latter on minimal volume despite it's overall success. Much of that is in China still.

Some Cupra sales are counted with SEAT but not that many. If only they were treated as separate brands. Genesis is counted within Hyundai but at least easier to get a true picture.

VW Golf - 22,000

VW T-Roc - 7,313

VW Tiguan - 6,241 (pic above)
