Peugeot had a particularly strong showing in May, jumping up three spots from the previous month, to claim the No. 3 spot in the month. Toyota followed as the fourth-best performing brand in May, thanks in large part to the strength of its Prius Plus hybrid.

Audi and Mercedes claimed the No. 5 and 6 spots, respectively, followed by the Spanish OEM SEAT, which owed much of its success to its Arona and Ateca models, according to Dataforce data.

BMW, Opel, and Ford ranked at No. 8, 9, and 10, respectively.  

The small car segment was up 16% in Spain during May, with the majority of this growth originating from Madrid.
