Winners and losers in the 2021 UK car market
After a lost decade, when share hovered around 4%, Toyota is now the biggest Asian brand in the UK. It’s also fifth overall, which realistically is as high as it can go for the foreseeable future.Vauxhall’s market share fall seems to have stabilised, as the General Motors-era cars are steadily replaced . The new Astra could lead to a slight recovery.VW has finally hunted down Ford. In the end, it was almost embarrassingly easy.
In SUVs, the XC40, XC60 and XC90 are actually outselling many of their German rivals.Registrations of plug-in hybrids and all-electric cars rose from 10.7% to more than 17%.For the first time ever, crossovers took most of the small family car segment, meaning more Kugas and fewer Focuses.Surprisingly, this class rose more than 10%, mostly thanks to the BMW 3 Series and Tesla Model 3. Predictably, though, that didn’t help the Jaguar XE.
