| Volvo V40 a big hit |
Some models that stand out in a positive way are the Volvo V40 and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. (You could say Outlander Phever has arrived). They had a rush of sales due to having eco-friendly variants, which get favourable assistance from the government to encourage consumers toward them.
It is good to see such models being helped along, but it does affect the sales charts quite markedly. The Toyota Auris, with its hybrid option, had a solid increase too.
