SUV-Land

With the EV Share now at 0.14%, the needle is starting to move in the Romanian market.

An interesting trend in this market is the plug-in hybrid SUV rule, being responsible for two thirds of sales, after two years of Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV dominion (2014 & '15), SUV's have diversified in the Luxury end, with the BMW X5 PHEV now leading the ranking.
The best cars are only #4, with both the Mercedes C350e and BMW i3 collecting 5 units.
Another existing trend is the Premium brands prevalence, with only Mitsubishi and Renault representing the lower priced segments. Nissan is strangely absent.
