Kia by far in the lead
The November sales figures are in and that means that we can also draw up the provisional annual balance. We list the most popular makes and models over the first 11 months of this year for you.
In November, 27,810 new passenger cars were registered in the Netherlands. That is 2.2 percent more than in the same month last year. Toyota was allowed to call itself the most popular car manufacturer in the Netherlands in November and the best-selling car in November was a Toyota: the Yaris Cross. But what do the total annual figures actually look like?
In the first eleven months of this year, a total of 281,383 new cars were registered in the Netherlands. Although the past four months show positive growth figures, the registration figures for the first eleven months of this year are almost 2 percent behind those of the same period last year. We list the most popular brands and models of the past eleven months for you.
Most popular car brands January-November 2022
Kia may call itself the most popular car brand in the Netherlands to date. Up to and including November, the Kia importer delivered almost 28,000 cars in our country, which puts the brand at some distance from Toyota, which did not deliver 23,000 new cars in the same period. Depending on whether and which importers suddenly decide to register many extra cars in the last month of this year, Kia could still lose its top position.
