Germany’s PEV passenger car market started the year with a small increase over the same month last year, with the almost 40,000 units registered in January representing an 8% increase in sales.
Looking at the January best sellers. We have a surprise in #1, with the Fiat 500e leading the way with 1,261 registrations, a first monthly win for Stellantis in this market. The multinational conglomerate placed a second model on January’s podium, with the Opel Corsa EV ending the month in 3rd. Across Europe, Stellantis is having a strong start to the year.
A mention also goes out to two Mercedes models. Besides the usual presence of the A250e compact model in #19, this time we also have the GLE PHEV largeSUV, which showed up in #13 with 798 registrations. Mercedes certainly had a positive month in Germany. We finish with a significant landing in Germany. Lynk & Co delivered the first 197 units of its 01 PHEV model. It will be interesting to see how well the Chinese compact crossover succeeds in the largest market in Europe. SAIC’s MG is taking its time landing in Germany. This time, it’s the turn of Geely’s Lynk & Co to land in Germany, after already being established in a number of European markets.
