For 1992 I only have official data for the first 5 months of the year, but for 1993 thanks to STAC I have a Top 50 models for the Full Year. In 1992, the Opel Astra dominates the ranking with 6.5% share ahead of the Toyota Carina (6.1%), Ford Escort and Mazda 626 (both at 5.4%) and Toyota Corolla (4.9%).

Over the first 5 months of 1993 the Danish new car market is down 17% to 33,210 registrations. Over the full year 1993, the Top 3 best-sellers both improve their share: the Opel Astra is the most popular car again with 5,984 sales and 7.3%, the Toyota Carina ranks 2nd at 5,191 units and 6.3% and the Toyota Corolla is up 2 spots to #3 with 5,031 sales and 6.1%.
