New car sales in Sweden are up another very satisfying 7% year-on-year in September to 26.142 registrations, bringing the year-to-date total to 222.636 units, up 15% on 2013.

The Hyundai i30 is among Sweden’s Top 10 most popular vehicles.

In the models ranking, the Volvo V70 is also back in the lead with 2,019 sales and 7.7% share but the VW Golf is still way above normal at 6.6% share vs. 5.3% year-to-date.

Further down, the Toyota Aygo breaks into the Top 20 at #19 thanks to the new generation whereas it did not appear in the August Top 60, the VW Up is up 16 spots to #27, the Hyundai i10 up 17 to #40, the BMW 2 Series ranks at #72 and the Mercedes GLA at #77 however the Citroen C4 Cactus is down 13 to #70.
