Sales: Tesla determines the market
RANKING OF MODELS A look at the best-selling cars in Switzerland in the month of March shows that, in addition to Tesla, compact SUVs and small cars from the Schweizer family were most in demand. Business as usual, or is it?
Once again, Tesla is going full throttle in an important quarterly closing month for a publicly traded company.
This time, the Model 3 with a whopping 916 redemptions in one month and the Model Y with 653 units right behind it are even two vehicles of the US electric brand at the top of the model statistics for March.
Three SUV models, the BMW X3, the Audi Q3 and the VW T-Roc, follow at some distance.
Small and compact vehicles on trend
In addition to SUVs, small and compact cars in particular have made up considerable ground in the favor of Mr. and Mrs. Swiss. The Dacia Sandero (326 units), the Fiat 500 (312 units) and the Peugeot 208 (305 units) are followed by three models from this segment in sixth to eighth place.
And with the Skoda Fabia in tenth place with 288 registrations, yet another small car places itself very narrowly in the top ten. The recently revised Czech simply had to let itself be beaten by the VW Tiguan, which was still at the top of buyers' wish lists last month with 293 units.
Only two electric models in the top ten
It is striking that apart from the two Tesla models, no purely electric model has made it into the top ten. Finally, the first pure electric model is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 in 33rd place in March sales with 176 units, followed by the VW ID.3 in 49th place with 139 units.
