The Belgian new car market including Commercials is down 1% year-on-year in April to 58.194 registrations, shifting the year-to-date total into negative territory at -0.07% on 2014 to 222.852 units. The VW Golf is back in charge of a market it has been dominating since 2010 with 1.826 sales in April (3.1%) and 5.843 year-to-date (2.6%) above the Renault Scenic and Clio, also reflecting the 2015 order. Renault places a third nameplate inside the Belgian Top 6 this month: the Megane at #6 vs. #16 year-to-date but #4 in 2014. Outside the podium, no nameplate achieves 2% market share, cementing Belgium as the most fragmented new car market in the world below Switzerland. The Audi A3 remains very solid at #4 as does the Peugeot 308 at #5, the Ford Focus is up 17 ranks on March to #11, the Volvo V40 up 10 to #14 and the Dacia Duster up 11 to #15.
