Perhaps it would be interesting to compare the German numbers with the Swedish new registrations for KIA Niro?
(it seems as if the "normal" hybride and plug-in versions are not separated in these figures)
From January 2017 to November 2017:
2899 -
HYUNDAI IONIQ had 730
From August 2016 (when the Niro was introduced in Sweden) to November 2017
3390
HYUNDAI IONIQ had 862 here
Quite impressive numbers for the Niro in a substantially smaller marked than Germany - the HYUNDAI IONIQ numbers are not so impressive in Sweden though......
The top seller in Sweden this year 2017 so far is VOLVO XC60 with 22635 new registered cars.
