French passenger car sales down 6.6% in January, High interest rates and a slowdown in consumer confidence have led to a slump in new car sales, with Stellantis and VW struggling
Plateforme de la Filière Automobile (PFA) announced that January new passenger car sales in France of 107,157 units decreased 6.6% over the same month last year. According to the French media, passenger cars sales in January was the lowest level in 15 years, excluding the semiconductor crisis in 2022.
Group Stellantis sales of 34,666 units decreased 2.7% (32.4% share) while Renault Group sales of 28,309 units increased 1.1% (26.4% share).
Volkswagen Group sales of 14,836 units decreased 7.2% (13.8% share) while Toyota sales of 9,513 units decreased 15.4% (8.9% share).
Hyundai Group sales of 4,220 units decreased 28.7% (3.9% share).
BMW Group sales of 4,191 units decreased 24.0% (3.9% share) while Ford sales of 2,118 units decreased 27.7% (2.0% share).
Sales of light commercial vehicles (LCV) decreased by 2.8% in January to 24,663 units. New light vehicles sales in January, including passenger cars and LCVs, fell 5.9% to 131,820 units.
Although the share of electric vehicle sales reached 28.3%, this is seen as the effects of social leasing, a scheme to help the purchase of electric vehicles, and not reflecting the revival of demand.
