What are UK drivers buying right now? The market is changing fast 👀
🚗 New SUVs
Cars like the Ford Puma, Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai are dominating new car sales right now. Why? Buyers want practicality, modern tech and better fuel economy — and manufacturers are backing these models with strong finance offers.
🚗 Used Hatchbacks & EVs
Meanwhile, the used market is still driven by reliable hatchbacks with low running costs. Cars like the Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Corsa and VW Golf remain hugely popular because they’re cheaper to finance, insure and maintain.
Used electric cars are becoming far more affordable, especially 3–5 year old models. Vehicles like the Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.3 are seeing huge demand as more drivers make the switch to electric without paying brand-new prices.
No matter your budget, there’s never been more choice in the market.
