Ford Puma Among Top 25 European Best Sellers Of H1 2024

The Ford Puma is still a relatively new model in the automotive world, having launched in its present form back in 2019 across Europe. There, the small crossover has remained a big hit among consumers seeking an affordable, efficient, and utilitarian method of transportation, too. In fact, the Ford Puma has been a stalwart on the list of Europe’s best-selling new vehicles basically since it first launched, and that continued in the first half of 2024 as well.

According to new data from JATO Dynamics, the Ford Puma ranked 15th among the top-selling cars in Europe over the first six months of the year, racking up 83,972 sales – a nine percent increase versus H1 2023. The Dacia Sandero topped this particular list with 143,596 sales – a 16 percent increase – this time around. In the entirety of 2023, the Ford Puma ranked as the 11th best-selling new vehicle in Europe, was the 14th most popular vehicle in May, and topped the sales charts in the UK over the first half of the year, to boot.

As for the overall European car market, registrations increased by 4.4 percent in H1 2024, from 6,559,213 units last year to 6,847,842 units this time around. EV and PHEV sales didn’t fare any better, each growing by just two percent over the first half of the year, though 26 percent of EV sales growth came specifically from imported Chinese models – which may change given recent moves to increase tariffs on those models.

“Europe’s growth is becoming more moderate – still far from levels seen pre-pandemic due to a more complex operating environment, including emissions regulations, increasing prices of vehicles, and barriers facing the adoption of electric cars,” said Felipe Munoz, Global Analyst at JATO Dynamics. “Since the semi-conductor shortage, electric vehicles have been the main driver of growth. It’s therefore vital that over the next six months, the industry does all it can to dispel uncertainty surrounding the EV market, including how EU tariffs on imported electric cars from China will impact the affordability of these vehicles.”
