Curious to see what everyone bought last year? Here are the UK's best-selling cars of 2024
Best-selling *new* cars, of course
VW Polo - 28,981
"It’s a useful, practical all-rounder with a lot to recommend it – it might, dare we say it, even have surpassed the Golf on that front."

"Unlike many of its rivals, the XC40 has no pretensions of offering a ‘car-like’ driving experience."

MG Motor UK HS - 30,207
"The new HS represents a useful step forward; a car whose looks, powertrain and perception of quality have all improved. Just be aware that its character hasn’t shifted too much and that most of its sophistication is skin-deep."

"Love the way it looks? Then the Tucson doesn’t put a foot wrong, driving eloquently and brimming with well-implemented tech. Always bought Hyundais for their sensibility, and not so sure on the styling? Then rest assured the only thing longer than the equipment list is the warranty."

Volkswagen Golf - 32,370
"The Golf is the lingua franca of the hatch world, universally known and understood. Although it’s always bang up-to-date, each generation is an evolution, springing few surprises. That’s key to its success. No Golf buyer ever had to engage with a conversation that began, ‘You’ve bought a what?’"

Tesla Model Y - 32,862
"The Model Y is now the poster-car for ‘if you delete the engine, the gearbox, the exhaust and all that fuel tank plumbing, then look how roomy you can make the cabin, and look how much storage you can offer in the boot'."

Nissan Juke - 34,454
"The Juke's main pitch, as before, is its style. But it's no longer hobbled by it as the first generation was. It's now at least averagely practical, though if space and versatility is what you need, matchstick your eyes open and get one of the little VW Group entries."

"The new Qashqai is… fine. The changes Nissan has made have improved it, although well within recognition. It’s practical and useful, comfortable enough and will get down a road with the minimum of fuss."

Kia Sportage - 47,163
“If you’re in the market for a five-seat family crossover, you’re certainly not short of options. There’s a lot to like about the Sportage though, if you can get on board with the rather bold styling.”

"It's easily superior to the latest Nissan Juke and VW's lacklustre T-Cross, and brings driver appeal to a woefully uninteresting class of cars."
