After dropping an alarming 22.2% in September, the Danish new car market rallies back up 8.7% year-on-year in October to 18.557 units, a record for the month.

Peugeot (+14%) is back above Toyota (+26%), with Skoda (+22%) and Opel (+4%) rounding up the Top 5. Just below, both Suzuki and Ford surge 39% while Audi is up 34% to #9. Further down, Nissan (+63%), BMW (+55%), Mini (+50%), DS (+2250!) and Alfa Romeo (+310%) make themselves noticed. Model-wise, the VW Golf more than doubles its sales year-on-year (+125%) and jumps six spots on last month to cling the top spot, dislodging the VW Up (-28%). The Peugeot 208 (+7%) is back up two spots to #3 and comfortably retains its YTD lead.
