Showing that ration sometimes bests passion, on the Old Continent, the best-selling trio last year were passenger cars, not SUVs or pickup trucks like in US
The article from AutoEvolution discusses the contrasting trends in vehicle preferences between Europe and the United States in 2024. In Europe, the top three best-selling vehicles were not SUVs, indicating a continued preference for other types of cars. Conversely, in the U.S., the top five best-selling vehicles were either trucks or Crossovers/Utility Vehicles (CUVs), highlighting a strong market dominance by these vehicle types. This divergence underscores differing consumer priorities, with Europeans favoring smaller, potentially more fuel-efficient vehicles, while Americans continue to favor larger, more versatile vehicles like trucks and SUVs. The article also touches on how these trends reflect broader market dynamics, including fuel efficiency standards, urban vs. rural living, and cultural preferences for vehicle utility.
