According to data from the federal public service (FOD) Mobility and the sector federation Febiac, 45,449 cars were registered in June, 9.4% more than in June last year. For the first half of the year, registrations are still slightly down (-1.7%) compared to H1 2025.

During that first half of the year, individual buyers bought more cars (+1.3%), but this couldn’t offset the decline in professional sales (-4.1%). During the first six months, gasoline cars retained the most important market share (41.6%, mild hybrids included).

Still, full electric cars are again advancing (from 33% to 36.1% market share), while PHEVs (5.2%) and HEVs (14.4%) also account for a fifth of the market – the diesel share drops below 2%. For the first time, more than 10% of individual buyers buy a fully electric car.

In June, we see an even bigger share for electrified vehicles (almost 65%), as well as BEVs (38% market share), PHEVs (5.6%), and HEVs (21%), which grew consistently. The gasoline share is only 31.9% in June, while diesel scored 2.4%.

The professional market seems to have slightly recovered from its dip, representing 57% of the market again in June, up from 53% in the first half of 2026, but it was still 58% for the same period last year.

Other vehicles

Light commercial vehicles also had a slight increase in sales in June (+1.2%), softening the half-year decline to 4.9%. The demand for trucks increased dramatically in June, by +17.1% for trucks under 16 tons and +29.7% for heavier trucks, thus mitigating the decline in the first half of the year (-25.2% for lighter trucks and -4.1% for heavier ones).

Where motorized two-wheelers are concerned, June was another good month with an 8% sales increase compared to June last year and a 13.2% increase for the first six months. The absolute figure (16,368 motorized two-wheelers and scooters sold in the first semester) is at the highest level in 15 years. In 2011, 17,327 two-wheelers were registered in the first half of the year.

By brand

In June, BMW remains the number one seller by far, increasing its sales by 13.1% compared to last year, while the second, Volkswagen, saw its sales decline by 21.4%. With only 3,136 cars sold in June, Volkswagen sees the two most important French brands closing in: Peugeot (3rd) sold 3,041 cars last month (+13.9%), and Renault sold 2,954 cars. Mercedes closes the top five with 2,740 cars sold (-1.6%).

The most significant fact here is that it happens in the second half of the top ten. For the first time, a Chinese brand enters this top ten: after Audi (6th, -27.7%) and Dacia (7th, -26.4%), Chinese MG is landing on eighth place, with a sales increase of no less than 515.8% compared to June last year, selling 2,106 cars instead of… 342. It precedes Skoda (9th, +39.9%) and Hyundai (10th, +69.2% in sales).

Other good performers in June are Kia (11th, +21.2%), Tesla (13th, +15.2%), BYD (17th, +121.8%), Nissan (20th, +31.3%), Mazda (21st, +105.9%), Fiat (22nd, +61.1%), Leapmotor (23rd, +427.3%), Suzuki (24th, +48.9%), Cupra (25th, +48.5%), KG Mobility (26th, +168%), Honda (28th, +147.1%), Jaecoo (32nd, +310%), Alfa Romeo (33rd, +70%), Xpeng (35th, +73%), Omoda (36th, +241%), Alpine (39th, +81.4%) and Smart (40th, +33.9%). Newcomer Zeekr confirms the Chinese push, coming in 38th with 117 cars sold in June.

There were other serious losers in June as well. Toyota fell back to 14th place with a 28.3% sales decrease, Citroën (16th) lost 37% in sales, Land Rover (27th) saw 17.7% fewer sales, Porsche (29th) had once again a serious sales decline of 38.4%, Jeep (31st) sold 15% fewer cars, and Polestar (34th) 19% less, the only Chinese brand that is receding. DS (37th, -15.6% in sales) really has to ask itself when the decline will end.

Cumulated

The good results in recent months mean that BMW is again comfortably positioned at the top of the Belux market for the first half of the year, selling 24,713 cars and representing a 10.7% market share, despite a 5.7% decline in sales compared to last year.

Volkswagen’s sales decrease is higher (-12.8%), resulting in a market share of 8.4%, down from 9.5%. Third is still Mercedes (6.7% market share), despite an 8.5% sales decline, and it feels Peugeot (6.6% share, +8.1% in sales) and Audi (6.5%, – 6.5% in sales) directly in its wake.

Renault Group occupies the next places, with Renault arriving sixth (6.1% share, -3.3% in sales), and Dacia seventh (5.1%, -23.9% in sales). Skoda is climbing the ladder (8th, 4.6% market share vs. 3.8% last year), while Toyota (9th, 3.9% share vs. 4.9%) is sliding down. Tenth place is for Kia (3.7% share), preceding Volvo (11th, 3.5%).

Tesla (12th) is on the rise again, increasing its sales by 29.8% and its market share from 2.3% to 3.1%. Opel is doing well also (15th, 2.9% share, +23.3% in sales), but here also, the surprise is for the Chinese: MG (17th) increases its sales by 171.2%, and sees its market share rise from 1% to 2.5%, and BYD (19th) doubles its market share to 1.6%, thanks to a 99% sales increase.

Other good performers are Fiat (21st, +50.6% in sales, 1.3% market share), Mazda (22nd, 1.1%, +38.1% in sales)Leapmotor (25th, 0.8% share, up from 0.2%, +353% in sales), Honda (30th, 0.6%, +33.9% in sales), XPeng (32nd, 0.5%, +77.9% in sales), Jaecoo (33rd, 0.4%, +429.5% in sales, KG Mobility (34th, 0.4%, +130.1%), Omoda (35th, 0.4%, +463.2% in sales), and Alpine (40th, +34.3% in sales). Again, we have to notice that most brands performing well to extremely well are Chinese, although the absolute figures remain modest for most of them.

Serious losers under the top ten are Volvo (11th, 3.5% share, -11.8% in sales), Ford (16th, 2.8%, -13% in sales), Cupra (24th, 0.8%, -16.9%), Land Rover (27th, 0.6%, -43.2% in sales), Seat (28th, 0.6%, -37.1% in sales), Porsche (29th, 0.6%, -38% in sales), Polestar (31st, 0.5%, -22.6%), Alfa Romeo (36th, 0.4%, -12.8% in sales), and Lexus (37th, 0.2%, -37.6% in sales).
