Volvo XC90 T8: Belgian EV Favorite. |
AWD-Land Edition
June was another great month for plug-ins, with 923 EV's registered, up 93% YoY, with the EV Share slightly up to 1.56%, being currently one of the fastest growing markets in the world.
AWD vehicles continue to own the market, with all the Top 5 places in June belonging to such vehicles: The Volvo XC90 T8 (147 units) was the Monthly Best-Seller, followed by the BMW X5 PHEV (118), Tesla Model S (102), BMW 225xe Act. Tourer (90 units, pb) and the Porsche Cayenne Plug-In (87). It looks like the Ardennes ski-goers are big plug-in vehicle fans...
Looking at the YTD ranking, the aforementioned high-end SUV's occupy the Podium, with six out of the Top 10 positions belonging to AWD vehicles.
Looking at the changes in the ranking, there was an important shift in the Fourth Position, with the Tesla Model S recovering the Fourth position from the Nissan Leaf, becoming once again the best-selling BEV.
The BMW 225xe Active Tourer rose two positions to #6, being without shadow of a doubt this years Best Selling Rookie. Will we see it reach #4 soon? I wouldn't bet against it.
