The Toyota Corolla repeats as the best-selling model in the world in 2018

As we have mentioned before, during the past year 2018 have been marketed around the world 95,6 million of cars. This figure represents 0,2 percent more than in 2017, a figure that indicates that in 2019 the world automobile sector could suffer a great recession. However, at a global level, we must take stock of what business They are crowd favorites.

So if the Grupo Volkswagen is the builder who dominates the sector with an iron fist, the Toyota Corolla is the one who does it at the model level. In this curious way, the German constructor takes over from the Toyota Group, since it is the one who steps on its feet in this long-distance race. However, the market is dominated by thousands of alternatives, although not all of them have the same weight and success.
