Strong Model Y sales in June further strengthened the car’s position in the overall automotive market. According to data for all six months of 2023, the SUV has become the best-selling vehicle of any powertrain type in the Netherlands. During this period, 6,796 units were sold. By a long margin, Peugeot 208 is in second place with 5,489 sales. This gap will help Model Y maintain its lead in the second half of the year. At the moment, there is a high probability that the SUV will become the best-selling car in the Netherlands for the whole year.
Tesla Model Y conquers Europe
Tesla’s compact electric SUV is really taking over the global market. It is already rising to the top spot in the US and Australia, although in China, Model Y has yet to compete for the top spot in the overall automotive market. At the moment, it is also clearly visible that the SUV is conquering Europe. Sales data for all countries have not yet been received and will be collected during this month. However, at the moment, it is known that Model Y became the best-selling car in Norway, Iceland, the UK, and the Netherlands in June. In all of the above cases, except for the UK, the SUV also became the best-selling car in the first half of the year. These achievements give further confidence that Model Y will indeed capture the title of the world’s best-selling car in 2023.
