After being an all-time monthly record in June, the Danish new car market continues on its fantastic run, up another 14% year-on-year in July to 16.252 registrations, lifting the year-to-date total to a record 121.130 sales, up 7% on the previous record of 2014. Extremely rare event in the models ranking: for only the third time in the past 3 years after January and February this year when the Peugeot 108 was #1, the VW Up is not the best-selling model in Denmark. This honour goes to the facelifted Peugeot 208 thanks to 790 sales and 4.9%, with Peugeot even managing a 1-2 with the 308 at #2 with 699 units and 4.3%, knocking down the traditional leader the VW Up to #3 at 631 deliveries and 3.9%.

The Opel Karl hits its best ranking in the world so far in Denmark at #24.

The Up of course keeps the year-to-date lead at 4.651 units vs. 4.270 for the 208. Other great performers in July in Denmark include the Skoda Fabia, VW Polo and Hyundai i20 all up 10 spots on last month to #5, #9 and #11 respectively, the Suzuki Celerio up 29 to #13 and the Nissan Qashqai up 13 to #14. Expectedly, Denmark is the most successful country early on in the career of the Opel Karl, up 50 ranks on June to a world-best #24 – this size of vehicle being the favourite for Danish car buyers.
