Over in the PC+LCV models ranking, the Nissan Qashqai (+21.9%) is back in charge thanks to re-exports. It is followed by the Skoda Octavia (+14.8%) and the Suzuki S-Cross (stable). The Hyundai Tucson (+148.4%) surges to #4 with the Suzuki Vitara (-13.1%) sliding down to #5. Excellent month for the VW T-Roc (+46.9%), Toyota Yaris Cross (+26.9%) and Corolla (+21.8%).
