Although accompanied by serious upheavals, such as the departure of boss Denis Le Vot, the Romanian brand Dacia continues to perform more than excellently on the European market. And this against the backdrop of global changes in Renault's management after the departure of boss Luca de Meo. Despite all these changes at the top, the Romanian brand's sales are growing again.
This success is indicative of Dacia's sustainability and its clear market strategy, which continues to win the trust of customers. According to Autostat data, the Dacia Sandero hatchback is the best-selling car on the European market in July 2025. With a result of 21 thousand units sold, the model overtakes serious competitors and takes the top position.
In second place in the ranking is the Volkswagen T-Roc with 20,700 units sold, while the third position is for the Toyota Yaris Cross, chosen by 17 thousand Europeans. Here are the top 10 best-selling cars in Europe in July 2025:
A separate study conducted by Autostat reveals the main reason for the decline in demand for new cars. According to 63% of respondents, high bank interest rates are the key factor negatively affecting the market.
