2020 Europe SUV Sales Figures By Model (With Rankings)

2020 Best Selling SUVs In Europe (All Models Ranked)

The European automotive market in 2020 faced a unique set of challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted vehicle sales. However, despite these setbacks, SUVs remained a dominant segment, reflecting the broader global trend towards these types of vehicles. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decline in overall car sales across Europe due to lockdown measures, economic slowdown, and reduced consumer confidence. Despite this, SUVs maintained a larger market share compared to other segments.

The Volkswagen Tiguan continued to stand out as one of the most popular SUVs in Europe, demonstrating the vehicle’s broad appeal and Volkswagen’s market strength. Having introduced a new generation in 2019, the Renault Captur remained in high demand. It was particularly popular in Western European countries. Peugeot’s 2008 offering in the subcompact SUV segment saw strong sales, thanks to its stylish design and efficient engine options. This model, alongside the Peugeot 3008, underscored Peugeot’s success in the SUV segment. As a hybrid-focused offering in the subcompact SUV segment, the Toyota C-HR continued to resonate with European consumers, especially considering the growing emphasis on eco-friendly vehicles. Introduced late in 2019, the Ford Puma quickly gained traction and became one of the standout models in 2020, emphasizing the brand’s effective re-entry into the European small SUV market.
