The overall German auto market had another positive month in July , with BEVs being the highlight . It’s an impressive result, especially considering that we are in the middle of the summer holiday season. That indicates we might be headed for a record month in September.
Besides the aforementioned Cupra Born, the Dacia Spring surprised everyone by surging into #6, with 1,818 registrations, its best result in 2023. Hyundai’s Ioniq 5 got 1,138 registrations and the Kona EV got 1,423 registrations. This last one’s performance is even more impressive when we consider that the small crossover is about to give way to a new-generation Kona.
Outside the top 20, unlike what is usual in this time of year, there is a lot to talk about, the highlight being the Jeep Avenger EV’s first volume month, with 902 deliveries. That put it just 6 units below the #20 Renault Megane EV, which says a lot about the potential of the little Jeep. It is showing enough potential to be top 20 material, and easily the best selling small crossover in the Stellantis stable.
