However, the CCFA said that two fewer reporting days in November this year impacted the figures negatively and that on an adjusted like-for-like basis, car sales in the month were up 5.7% versus last year.
The French car market in November totalled 138,298 units.
The month was relatively good for the two domestic groups.
