Small SUVs remain Europe's most popular car type after the first six months of the year, led by strong sales growth of the segment-topping Volkswagen T-Roc and Toyota Yaris Cross.
T-Roc sales grew 33 percent in the first half to retain the top spot with 103,063 registrations.
Meanwhile the Yaris Cross climbed to second from sixth after demand for the car, which is predominantly sold with Toyota's hybrid system, climbed by nearly 50 percent, according to preliminary figures from market researcher Dataforce (see table, below).
