The VW Golf (4.6%), Toyota Avensis (4.3%) and Ford Focus (3%) follow while the Volvo V40 breaks into the Finnish monthly Top 5 for the very first time at #5 with 278 units and 2.7%.

The Honda CR-V takes advantage of the new generation to jump up to a fantastic 7th place with 269 sales and 2.6% vs. #25 and 1.1% in the Full Year 2012 and the BMW 3 Series continues its impressive progression, up a further 3 spots on December to #8 at 259 units and 2.5% vs. #30 and 1% in FY2012. But the most noticeable arrival in the Finnish Top 30 this month is the all-new Opel Mokka, up to a promising (and world-best so far) #18 spot thanks to 151 sales for a 1.5% market share.
