Toyota also saw a 21% fall, while Ford car sales were down 20%.
Overall, registrations of new cars in Europe were 9.2% lower, with 1.26 million new vehicles registered.
The year-on-year fall is the sixth decline as many months, with all major European markets down.
In the UK, new car sales were 8.9% lower, while France and Germany saw falls of 8.2% and 17.8% respectively.
Spain saw the biggest fall, dropping 27.3%.
Last year scrappage schemes across Europe were rolled out, incentivizing new car sales to boost the ailing car industry.
