In a surprising turn of events, the Dacia Sandero has been crowned Europe’s best-selling car for July 2021, beating the VW Golf in its own game. The Romanian budget-friendly supermini sold 20,446 units in July, proving to be quite popular with European buyers and reaching the top spot for the first time ever.
In total, the European market fell by 24 percent last month with 967,830 sales according to JATO, following four months of growth. For comparison, Europe had 1.27 million sales in July 2020 and 1.32 million sales in July 2019 before the pandemic. Most automakers and markets saw a great decline in the new car registrations, not only because of the pandemic but also due to the shortage of semiconductors affecting the availability. Still, 2021 sales for the first seven months of the year are 24 percent higher than the same period of 2020.
