It’s easy to praise the best, to praise those who have achieved the most success, who have excelled. We often talk to you about models that occupy the top of the charts, the cars that sold the best, the most popular among the French or Europeans, the most attractive, the most attractive. But what about outsiders? Which models, on the other hand, were disliked by buyers and recorded the lowest sales figures since the beginning of the year? The answer with the top 100 models sold in France compiled by the Automotive Platform (PFA).

SEAT is falling, VW is not selling its electricity, the French are resisting

If we look 20 least selling models (out of the top 100, let’s figure it out), there are very few French models: Citroën ë-C4 and Renault Grand Scénic as it happens On the contrary, there are many Germans in particular models of the Volkswagen concern. Assumptions of the last months are confirmed by the numbers: VW is having trouble selling its electrics, ID.4, ID.3 and even Skoda Enyaq are not very successful. It is not surprising that “stillborn” models, Hyundai Bayon, Opel Grandland and Kia Stonic suffered major setbacks.

We also find several premium or less affordable models: BMW X3, Audi Q3, Volvo C60 and Nissan X-Trail. The collapse of the SEAT brand also clearly observed: 2 of the 5 models that make up its range appear on this unfortunate list. What is even more surprising, the Lynk&Co 01 hybrid crossover is among the top five newest models., while offering excellent value for money. Enough discussion, below you will find 20 disastrous models.
