Mind the figures for MINI Countryman are missing since MINI German registrations are recorded per brand as a whole (28,403 YTD), not per model. Expect Countryman on place #12, #13, or #14 with around 8,000 to 12,000 units sold in 2012.

The new ML is doing well! X5 needs replacement...

 

[EnI]

X5 needs replacement...

Yep. Not to mention Q7 ... very poor sales ... only 2,961 units sold in 9 months.

 

[klier]

But Q7 has really never sold well. Next gen should fix that somewhat I guess...

What's also great to see is the X1 doing so well. Next gen should get more attention (in quality, technology and attention to detail). Much like the X3 mrk I vs X3 mrk II.

 

[EnI]

It also looks like the new X3 is hurting outgoing X5 sales.

Eg. X3 is selling much better than GLK & Q5, while ML is selling much batter than X5. Yes, mostly due to the fact ML is a new, and X5 an old model.

But still ... X3 & X5 sales (combined) total 26,114 units, while GLK + ML sales total 23,918 units.

Btw, Tiguan sales are totally out of this world ...

PS: look at the X1 & Q3 sales ... MLA / GLA better come soon! Same case with BMW CST & Audi A2 / A3 SuperAvant in B-class case. And with BMW sub-1er & MB sub-Aclass in A1 case.

 

[klier]

Tiguan is in a completely different class though, not premium.
Base price can't be far off an X1, but in real life an X1 ends up being way more expensive with options... But it's still a big big lead indeed....

Oh, it's a list of best selling SUVs with AWD.

Since many on KBAs list I've posted are available as 2WD as well (they are cheaper, and thus more popular, I guess ... especially the non-premium models).

ble as 2WD as well (they are cheaper, and thus more popular, I guess ... especially the non-premium models).

Uhm, like the X1 then. Comes in RWD too clearly...

So do the Tiguan, GLK, Kuga & Q3 ... but obviously Germans mainly buy AWD versions of those SUVs.

 

[Mr Robert]

A 2WD (in reality, that is an 1WD) SUV... does anything make less sense than that?

 

[klier]

Heheh, not really no....
