Over in the models charts, the Skoda Octavia (+16.3%) signs a second win in the past three months but remains at #2 year-to-date below the VW Golf (stable), itself down to #6 for the month. The Hyundai Tucson (+144.5%) justifies the brandβs performance and leaps from outside the May Top 20 directly into 2nd place. It earns a YTD Top 20 ranking as a result at #15. The Tesla Model Y (-21.6%) ranks #3 but freefalls year-on-year. Record performance by the MG HS (+510.1%) scoring its first ever Top 20 finish, directly at #4.

Over in the models charts, the Tesla Model Y (-54.9%) unsurprisingly stays on top despite a ghastly year-on-year fall. We have a surprise in 2nd spot: discontinued here in 2024, the Kia Niro is back thanks to a Limited Edition of 1,350 vehicles reintroduced this year with aΒ price that just sneaks under the VAT threshold of 300,000 kroner.
