World Top 10 January 2014

This time the Outlander PHEV didn't pose a threat to the Leaf

Leaf high above

The year started with the Leaf breaking the 100.000 units sold and to celebrate, the japanese hatch collected an easy #1, tripling sales of the #2, the Outlander PHEV.

The fight for the last place in the podium was close, with just 61 units separating the #3 Tesla Model S (1.083 units)from the #5 Chevy Volt (1.022). In the middle of the two came the Prius Plug-In (1.062 units).

Behind these, we see an encouraging BYD Qin, with 673 sales in its first complete sales month.

Finally, the Smart Fortwo ED continued to climb in the ranking, now at #9, and the Volvo V60 Plug-In achieved a #10 position, proving to be a winning bet from the swedish automaker.

Looking at the brands ranking, while Nissan shines above everyone and Mitsubishi is comfortable in #2, the third place is pretty tight, with Ford beating Toyota, Chevrolet and Tesla and ending in the last place in the podium. BYD profits from the Qin sales to achieve #7, while Renault drops to #8...
