The next five carmakers all underperform, with Nissan (-28.1%) hit the hardest while Peugeot (+28.4%), Mazda (+14.5%) and Suzuki (+13.5%) post the largest gains in the Top 10, all at the tail end of it. Opel (+71.7%), Haval (+65.7%), Ford (+39.8%), Mercedes (+25.5%) and Chery (+18.1%) are among the best performers further down. The end of the year so a range of new Chinese entrants appear in the charts (Zhidou, BAIC, Ora, Xpeng) but their sales all remain in the single digits for now.

Over in the models ranking, the new generation boosts the Toyota RAV4 (+34.6%) up 3 spots to the overall pole position.
