The Tesla Model Y was Europe’s bestselling car in September, returning to the No. 1 slot for the first time in nine months even though sales fell 8.6 percent to 25,938 compared with the same month in 2024.
It has been a year of dramatic swings for the full-electric midsize SUV, which slipped to No. 60 in sales in July from second place in June. In August, the Model Y finished 17th.
The Model Y is the fourth model to finish a month at No. 1 this year. The others are the Dacia Sandero, which has been on top four times, the Renault Clio, which has won three monthly titles, and the Volkswagen T-Roc, which was first in August.
The Clio was Europe’s No. 2-seller in September. The small car’s sales were down 1.6 percent to 20,1467 last month, according to figures from Dataforce representing 98 percent of sales in the European Union, EFTA markets and the U.K.
