With a net market withdraw and priorities that change in the midst of an economic crisis, car buyers have more than ever favored the safe bet of the moment, the sacro-saint SUV.At the start of the year, according to figures from Jato Dynamics, he reached heights in Europe with 44 % market share, and 41 % in France over the same period, with great performances from the Peugeot 2008, 3008 andRenault Captur.
In five years, the SUV market share in Europe has thus increased from 26 to 40 %, in 2020.And 2021 leaves on the hats of wheels.In January, the manufacturers who sold the most SUV are, in order: Volkswagen, Peugeot and BMW.
A simply phenomenal increase in so shortly, and if the manufacturers rub their hands (profitability on the sale of a SUV is greater than that of a compact sedan of the same segment), it does not prevent the pricemeans of the new vehicle in France and in most major European markets increases each year.In France, it revolves around € 26,000.
