Electric SUV was world’s best selling passenger car in 2023, but is unlikely to replicate the feat in 2024
Tesla ’s Model Y SUV was the 18th best-selling car in Europe in May, down from first place in May 2023. Sales fell by 49 percent, severely damaging the Model Y’s chances of retaining its world’s best-seller crown. VW’s ageing T-Roc has nosed ahead of its Golf brother to grab the top spot. Well, it was fun while it lasted. Tesla ’s Model Y made history in 2023 when it became the first EV to top the Europe an sales table, but the picture looks very different only a few months later.
The firm’s T-Roc crossover has been around since 2017 and is about to be facelifted, but it still managed to record a 12 percent sales increase in May versus the same month in 2023. That puts it provisionally in first place ahead of the third-placed Dacia Sandero, which was narrowly beaten by the Model Y last year and is still ahead overall this year, having topped the chart for five months. Relegating the Sandero to third place this May, however, is the freshly facelifted VW Golf.
