Car market overview for April 2019
Most popular cars in April 2019
The MyVehicle.ie Nationwide Market Overview report for April 2019 shows that of the top ten used cars sold by Independent dealers in Ireland, the number one best selling car was once again the Volkswagen Passat.
In the March 2019 marketing report, the number one spot was held by the Ford Focus but this month the Focus holds both the 9th and 10th place.
The number one spot was held by the Opel Insignia back in the month of February, so we can see a variation on the top spot for Independents.
When it came to the top-ten used cars sold by Franchise dealers for the month of March, the number one spot, once again, is the Hyundai Tucson. This vehicle continues to be the most popular vehicle in Ireland.
Despite the current global trend away from diesel fuel, every top-ten car sold by both independent dealers and franchise dealers in the month of April 2019 were diesel.
The quickest selling car from Independent dealers in April was the petrol Citroen C4 Cactu and the quickest selling vehicle from franchise dealers was the petrol Opel Corsa.
The April report reveals that of the top ten cars sold privately, the Ford Focus came in at first (2005) and second place (2006) revealing once again the popularity of this car in Ireland.
It would seem that the most popular cars in the private market place in April were Golfs, Focus's, Astra’s and BMW’s.
Of the top-ten cars valued during the month, the number one was the Toyota Auris Hybrid with the Volkswagen Golf taking the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and 8th places.
