These are the three small SUVs that are “breaking” sales in Greece

For the Greek market with its distortions and idiosyncrasies, the small SUV seems to be very well directed and well targeted. It is no coincidence that more than a quarter of new cars sold in 2023 belong to this category, which has truly reached high levels, combining “restrained” dimensions and increased touring capacity.

No. 1 Toyota Yaris Cross – 4,681 sales, starting from €23,230

The Greek public's poor purchasing of the Japanese giant's products is nothing new. What is worth staying away from this issue is that the Yaris Cross was loved “from the beginning” in Greece, where it recorded very high sales from the first moment it was available in the local market.

With excellent engine options to cover a wide range of needs, the Yaris Cross offers enough space for the transport needs of a family of four, but also offers the innate ability to move on any type of terrain thanks to increased ground clearance. The high build quality and tremendous reliability are simply the perfect complement to the excellent overall offering.

No. 2 Suzuki Vitara – 3,586 sales starting from 19,580 euros

It is one of the models that, in the Greek market at least, is sold in name only. And how much more so now, when in its modern version there is nothing to envy of competing SUVs, while the dealership can offer it at a price that makes it a real challenge (and a headache for the competition).

The bulletproof build quality that has always accompanied Suzuki models, combined with the modern and efficient engines of the range, creates an image that can be “adapted” to a wide range of consumer needs – and thus, the Vitara arrives at the doorstep of many potential buyers who will be surprised to see that it is available at a price that “matches With Class B cars.

No. 3 Peugeot 2008 – 2,864 sales starting from 24,100 euros

With the year 2008, Peugeot was able to enter the conversation of everyone interested in buying a new car, even if SUVs were not a prerequisite in the conversation. Its aesthetic perfection, combined with dimensions that make it particularly flexible to suit all needs, places 2008 in a privileged position at the “starting point” for the search for the next car.

An important role is also played by the fact that it is available with gasoline, diesel and purely electric engines. This peculiarity places the 2008 in a small category of models on the Greek market, where there are not many models with this talent. Also important is the fact that Peugeot is represented by a huge group with long-standing experience and knowledge and a network of representatives covering the entire region.
