Sweden Car Sales By Brand : 2010-14

In the final in a series of thirteen articles on the Swedish car market, the five years shown below have been relatively stable. Volvo has remained the best selling brand in its home nation although being shadowed by VW. Toyota has slipped back and is now threatened by Audi and BMW for third spot. The US brands (purple shading) have had a poor run and now represent a quite a small part of the market.

Amazingly all through this time Saab has sold cars each year in Sweden. New owner NEVS is still unsure what to do but is thinking about production in Sweden and China.

To cover a nation like I have with Sweden I doubt I will be able to do to the same degree again. It goes all the way back to 1950, and at the bottom of the page there are links to the other twelve in the series. I hope you have enjoyed following the mainly ups and occasional downs of what has been the Swedish car market.

Sweden Car Sales By Brand : 2005-09

The Volvo XC60 came along in 2008

Car sales were going really well, peaking in 2007 at the highest since 1989. Then the economic downturn that which reached its lowest for Sweden in 2009. Some were affected more than others. Saab was on the way out, while German brands seemed to do well. Kia seemed unaffected but but both Peugeot and Citroën took a tumble. Sweden had a good market for MG Rover but that came to an end in 2006. Opel had been 4th in 1990 was now 14th by 2009. Was GM's handling of Saab's demise a contributing factor?
