For the first time, an electric car is Sweden's best-selling car. The new leader is Tesla Model Y, ahead of Volvo XC40 and XC60 in second and third place.

In total, new car sales dropped by 9.5 percent compared to the first quarter of 2022. However, electric cars are going against the trend and have increased by 15 percent compared to last year.

Sales of gasoline cars decreased by 14 percent, diesel cars by 18 percent, and plug-in hybrids decreased by 26 percent. In other words, pure electric cars are taking over the market.

All numbers are preliminary and come from Car.info. Final numbers will be available within a few days from Mobility Sweden.
