rewrite this content and keep HTML tags You will be amazed when you look at German car sales. In August 2023, it seemed like every German ran to the dealer for a new car. What are the biggest differences with the Netherlands? 1. 10 times as many cars were sold in Germany as in the Netherlands The total number of cars registered in the Netherlands in August 2023 was 27,925. In Germany they laugh at such numbers; 273,417 cars were registered there. An increase of 37.3 percent compared to the previous year. In the Netherlands, the number of registrations increased by 17.8 percent compared to August 2022 – the percentage was higher in the previous months. 2. In Germany, Dacia is more popular than Renault Let them slide in Romania: Dacia is the only car brand of the alliance (Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi) to sell more cars in 2022 than the year before. And Germans also love the brand. Dacia occupies place 13 (7270 registrations), Renault follows only two places below (6702). Over the entire year, Dacia is also ahead of its big brother: 47,630 vs. 43,639. In the Netherlands, Renault is much more popular (14,194 vs. 4,305 over the first months of 2023).

The T-Roc follows in second place, but behind it is the Fiat 500! It is the only car that manages to make a dent in the Volkswagen bastion, because the ID.4 and ID.5 are in 4th place. The top 5 brands consist of Volkswagen, Mercedes, Audi, BMW and Opel. 4. We like the Kia Niro and Peugeot 208, Germans don’t Dutch and Germans have completely different preferences. The Be Niro has always been popular in the Netherlands and is also in the top 5 in August 2023. In Germany we only find it at number 50. The Peugeot 208, our best-selling car of 2022 and now high on the list, is not even in Germany. among the 50 most popular models. The Germans also get their money’s worth for the Kia Picanto, one of the few models under 20,000 euros. Nose on. He’s not in the top 50. 5. Chinese Beetle copycat conquers Germany Ora Funky Cat. That’s really the name of this electric car. Obviously a car with such a strange name comes from China. It is not yet available in the Netherlands. Why is it so popular in Germany? Maybe they will spontaneously become homesick for the Beetle when they see the car. Because the Funky Cat is a bit of a Copy Cat. He’s at 30e place in Germany, even ahead of cars such as the Ford Focus, Volkswagen T-Cross and Mercedes E-class.
