Over in the models charts, the Toyota Yaris Cross (-25.7%) is a distant #1 despite a hefty YoY loss. It is however stuck at #2 year-to-date below the Peugeot 2008 (+14.2%) which ranks #2 for the month. The Citroen C3 (+163.9%) soars 37 ranks on last month to #3, distancing the Renault Clio (+61.7%) and BMW X1 (+57.5%) also in outstanding shape. The Dacia Duster (+373.2%) and Suzuki Swift (+44.9%) also make themselves noticed in the remainder of the Top 10 while the new MG ZS Max breaks its ranking record at #9 for its 2nd ever appearance inside the Greek Top 10.
