I'm very surprised by this table. If you look at the sales of BMW and Mercedes they almost mirror each other for split in sales between ICE, BEV, MHEV, PHEV. In my opinion this is wrong as almost all Mercedes ICE cars are mild hybrid and not plain ICE they been like that longer than any other car brand. BMW only started installing mild hybrid tech in their engines in the 2022 7 series.

I think they started offering this system two years after Mercedes.

I think the original V8 F04 Active Hybrid 7-er c.2010 was BMWs first Mild Hybrid.

The BMW iX1 was the brand’s most successful BEV model, with all-electric models accounting for more than a quarter of all BMW X1 units delivered in 2025. The all-electric drivetrain is popular among customers of the BMW 4 Series as well. Almost half of these models were delivered to customers in the variant of the all-electric BMW i4 version.​

22500 Mini convertible’s, the market is not exactly dead TBH.

Spectre sales 47% down. Interesting.

Gee wiz Mini are selling well. The Aceman sold hugely more and even the Countryman and Hatch models had a decent increase compared to 2024.

The Aceman sold hugely more and even the Countryman and Hatch models had a decent increase compared to 2024.

And that's despite the fact that at the exact moment of its market launch, the EU imposed a tariff of around 20% more on vehicles manufactured in China. I read that they are negotiating to eliminate it for the Aceman and then continue with the Cooper EV.
