First European Top 50 ranking for the Fiat 500X

In the models ranking, with final data we have a surprise in the Top 10: if the Top 8 remains unchanged, the Toyota Yaris elbows its way into 9th place overall with 19.211 sales vs. 19.189 for the Opel Astra at #10 and 19.126 for the Skoda Octavia, kicked out of the Top 10 at #11. This is only the fourth time the Toyota Yaris is among Europe’s Top 10 favourite nameplate after 10 March 2012, September 2012 and January 2015, and simply the nameplate’s best-ever European ranking. In fact, only 2.155 sales separated the #9 from the #19 nameplates this month, with very strong performances all round lifted by a record UK market. The Mercedes C-Class gains a further two spots on August to #13, the Fiat Panda is up 40% year-on-year and 17 ranks on last month to #16, both the VW Passat (#17) and Opel Mokka (#18) are up 26% and the Mini edges onto the Top 20.
