New car sales in Denmark mark a pause in April at -11% to 17.610 registrations, yet thanks to a great start of the year the year-to-date tally remains in positive territory at +7.5% to a record 77.531 units. Market leader Volkswagen goes against the grain with a 21% year-on-year gain to 14.3% share thanks to the Polo (+64%), Touran (+28%) and Tiguan (+7650%). The next five brands all decline: Peugeot (-17%), Toyota (-23%), Ford (-2%), Citroen (-12%) and Skoda (-14%). Sin fact, Suzuki is the only other brand in the Top 10 to manage to gain ground at +40%. Further down, Seat (+8%), Mercedes (+11%), Jaguar (+14%), DS (+62%), Land Rover (+82%) and Alfa Romeo (+182%) are among the rare other manufacturer posting a year-on-year increase. The Peugeot 208 remains the best-selling nameplate in the country despite a 7% drop, distancing the VW Polo, Opel Astra (+12%) and VW Up (-14%). The Citroen C3 shines at +24% in 7th place thanks to the new generation but the performer of the month is the Suzuki Ignis rising to 14th place vs. #50 so far this year, with the Suzuki Baleno also an instant hit in Denmark at #17.
