The French vehicle market grew by 2.97% in 2018. It recorded 2,173,481 registrations from January to December 2018. It seems that city cars are still well placed with the Ford Fiesta and the Volkswagen Golf. We will see in the following, the top 5 best-selling cars in France in 2018, with Prestige Cars.
The top 5 most popular cars
All in all, the top 5 best-selling cars in 2018 don’t hold many surprises, with the Ford Fiesta continuing to lead the way ahead of the VW Golf and the Nissan Qashqai. But which cars were the most requested by the French in 2018? Details with Prestige Cars :
Ford Fiesta
The Ford Fiesta has long been the favourite of French motorists. Although it gets bigger with each new version, the Fiesta remains a pleasure to drive, with improvements in interior space as well as construction quality over older models.
Volkswagen Golf
With a combination of efficient engines, excellent build quality, a first-class interior and more functionality, it won’t be hard to see why the Volkswagen Golf is one of the most popular new cars in the country.
Nissan Qashqai
Since the launch of the first version of the vehicle in 2007, the British-built Nissan Qashqai has become a very popular car in Europe, so it’s no surprise that the Nissan is in the top 5 of the French people’s favourite cars. Although it faces some pretty fierce competition, it remains the mid-size SUV offering the best value for the money. The Qashqai is comfortable, spacious and above all affordable.
Ford Focus
This model was second only to the Fiesta in terms of sales in the first part of 2018, it struggled to regain ground in the fall and winter.
This family car is 4th on our list and should sell well in 2020. It’s still very pleasant to drive. It also offers a more spacious and better-designed cabin than before, and has the advantage of being equipped with a range of technological features as well as a refined and efficient engine. Even though competition among mid-range family cars is tough, car buyers are increasingly turning to city models like the Ford Focus.
Volkswagen Polo
The strong recovery of the Volkswagen Polo after its disappearance for a while has shaken up the automobile market in France. Like its big sister, the Golf, the Polo offers a complete package with intelligent design, energy-efficient engines and a well-built interior. Just what you need.
