Vauxhall continued its strong UK sales performance in March, ending Q1 as the UK's third-best selling brand in the overall car and van market, according the latest new vehicle registration figures published today by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Leading the way as the UK's best-selling supermini so far in 2024 is the Vauxhall Corsa, while in March the Corsa Electric topped the electric supermini segment. The Mokka Electric is the best-selling small electric SUV so far this year with 2,122 registered. Vauxhall's passenger car market share in March has increased by almost 0.7 percentage points compared to last year, rising to 4.89%. This represents 15,553 car registrations in the month.

In the first three months of the year, Vauxhall's share of the electric car market increased by almost half a percentage point to 4.67%, while in the overall car market its market share stands at 5.25% year-to-date - up from 4.62% last year. So far in 2024, the brand has sold 28,664 cars - 5,810 more than this time last year.

Vauxhall is the UK's third best-selling LCV manufacturer both year-to-date and month-to-date, with 4,364 vans registered in March. This gives it a market share for the month of 8.08% (up from 7.84%), while its LCV market share year-to-date is 9.01% (up from 8.72% last year).

In total, 37,404 Vauxhall cars and vans were registered in the first quarter of 2024, which saw Vauxhall's overall market share increase by 0.57 percentage points compared to last year, rising to 5.82%. This reflects the success of the wider Stellantis group, which has a combined car and van market share of 14.64% year-to-date, up from 13.58%.

James Taylor, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: "It's been a successful first quarter for Vauxhall, with the Corsa once again topping the supermini segment and the Mokka Electric leading the way as the UK's most popular small electric SUV. Our continued sales growth shows that our commitment to offering practical and attainable vehicles is proving popular with customers, especially for those looking to transition to an electric vehicle."
