In contrast, the market share of Chinese carmakers (including Geely’s owned Volvo, Polestar and Lotus) within the BEV segment increased from 10.5% in August 2023 to 15.5% in last month. The strong performance of Chinese-made cars was largely due to the success of the Volvo EX30 and certain BYD models. As a result, the total market share of Chinese carmakers was larger than Tesla’s at 15.3% and outperformed only by Volkswagen Group at 22.5%. Dacia’s B-hatch, the Sandero, took the top spot in the overall model ranking last month, registering 15,653 units – a 9% year-on-year increase, taking its year-to-date total volume to almost 183,000 units. The Tesla Model Y followed closely with 13,410 units – a drop of 38%. The Toyota Yaris Cross was in third position, recording a 24% increase in registrations.
