Peugeot e-208 is the 2022 best seller in France!
While the overall French auto market had its worst year since 1975 in 2022, with only 1.5 million units registered, plugin sales continued to grow. December sales were up 1% year over year , and were a record month. Full electric vehicles were up 7%, to 24,733 registrations, while PHEVs continued in the doldrums — they have been dropping YoY every single month since last February.

Expect MG’s hatchback to become a serious contender in 2023, in no small part thanks to its unbeatable value for the money.
Highlighting Volkswagen’s newfound form, the German automaker managed to place three models in the French top 20 last month. Besides the already mentioned #6 ID.3, Volkswagen also placed the ID.5 and ID.4 siblings in #18 and #19, respectively, with both models hitting record scores — 593 registrations and 563 registrations. This could mean a stronger Volkswagen in the French market in 2023.

This also highlights the Stellantis strategy of relying on a strong, broad lineup instead of star players. The Climber of the Month was the VW ID.3, joining the table in #18. That is still a disappointing position, especially considering that last year it had ended in #12, and in 2020 it was #9. …
