The Leaf still Rules Britannia. For how long? |
Leaf Leadership is Under Threat Edition
I finally got access to second quarter numbers from the UK and despite the abysmal difference between the Leaf and everybody else, this last quarter saw the arrival of the Outlander PHEV, which has sold 542 units in just three months, placing it Second in the Quarter, and #3 YTD.
As if that wasn't enough, in July the Mitsu SUV was the best selling plug-in in the UK, with 399 units, making this the first time since 2011 that a car other than the Leaf wins the monthly Best Seller title.
Finally, the Tesla Model S is still absent from this Top 5 ranking, although not for long, as it is expected to rise to #4 by the end of the next quarter in September.
