The market edges down -1.3% year-on-year to 46.849 units, a much better hold than the UK overall (-3.4%). The Ford Fiesta (-16.1%) recuperates the #1 YTD spot in extremis in June but it’s the Mercedes A-Class (+40.8%) that led for most of the First Semester, ending the period just 10 units below the Fiesta. The Toyota Yaris (+27.1%) is also in outstanding shape, up 3 spots to climb onto the podium, dislodging the VW Golf (-27.4%) and Nissan Qashqai (-14.1%). Other great performers include the Ford Focus (+10.2%), VW Polo (+8.5%) and the VW Tiguan and Audi Q2 both breaking into the Top 10.
