The year-to-date tally however remains up at +8.2% to 79,976. In the brands charts, Suzuki (+14.1%) is back above Toyota (-25%) with 13.4% of the market vs. 12.4%. Skoda (-20.6%) is back up three spots on July to #3 but is in difficulty year-on-year. Mercedes (+42%) and Ford (+54.2%) both post very satisfying gains to rank #4 and #5 respectively. Mercedes is at 7.2% share vs. 4.4% year-to-date. BMW (+16.1%) also shines at #7. All remaining Top 10 members are in decline: Nissan (-44.1%) and Volkswagen (-33.7%) are the hardest hit while Hyundai (-3.4%) and Kia (-4.2%) limit their fall. Further down, Lexus (+73.3%) and Volvo (+8.6%) stand out just as BYD drops three spots on last month to #18.
The Suzuki S-Cross (+28.1%) repeats at #1 but this is not enough to upset the Suzuki Vitara (-22.7%) in the year-to-date charts. The Vitara holds 6.3% of the market over the first 8 months of the year vs. 5.3% for the S-Cross. The Skoda Octavia (-35.1%) and Kia Ceed (-7.3%) camp on their YTD rankings while the Ford Ranger (+81.6%), Toyota C-HR (+61.8%), Ford Kuga (+129.7%) and Toyota Yaris Cross (+23.1%) all score splendid upticks in the remainder of the Top 10.
