At 79,406 registrations in July, the Spanish car market is down ‘only’ 4% year-on-year but July 2010 was already a poor month. The 2011 total stands at 522,520 units and -24%… Seat continues to reap the benefits of its own scrappage scheme, the Seat-Plan E, placing the Ibiza #1 at 4.5% share (4% in 2011) and the Leon at #2 at 3.5% (up to #5 and 2.8% in 2011).

The French are in shape this month: the Renault Megane is up 4 spots to #3 with 2,629 sales and 3.3%, the Peugeot 207 is up 10 spots to #4 at 2,596 units and 3.3% also and the Peugeot 308 is 4 spots to #8 at 2.4%. The Nissan Qashqai is stable in 5th place and 3.2%, holding onto its 2nd position in 2011 overall at 3.1%.

Other good performers this month include the Kia Sportage up to #29, the Peugeot 508 breaking into the Top 30 at #30 with 765 sales and 1% share and the new Lancia Y up 99 spots to #70 at 291 units and 0.4%.
