Here are the UK's best-selling cars of 2024... so far
Curious to see what everyone else is buying? These are the UK's best-selling vehicles so far this year
BMW 1 Series - 19,538
"The entry-level variants are arguably stronger than the more performance-oriented models, but in any spec it handles impressively and rides even better. Especially for rear seat passengers, who have benefited the most from the 1 Series’ switch to transverse engines and front drive."

"Car buyers love a little crossover, as the T-Roc's stats prove. That’s in no small part thanks to its Golf-like looks, comfortable driving experience and handy size. Even if the rear is a little limited for space compared to its rivals."
MG HS - 20,090
"It’s far from the best car in its sector to drive but nor does it claim to be, instead nailing its brief as an unpretentious, spacious, cheap car. There’s nothing glitzy or glamorous about it, but it’s comfy enough and gets you from A to B with little fuss."

"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."
Audi A3 - 21,680
"The A3 Sportback is possibly the most roundly talented posho-badged hatchback on the market right now. The BMW 1 Series is a sportier choice (but pays for that with a tougher ride and more road noise), and the Mercedes A-Class trails both by a distance, despite its tech-festooned dashboard."
Nissan Juke - 22,702
"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."
Volkswagen Golf - 23,482
"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?’"

"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 - 30,100
“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.”

The UK loves a Ford. Though the best-sellers of old may be gone (the Focus from this best-sellers list and the Fiesta altogether *sob*) it's the Puma that's now doing the heavy lifting for Ford… it brings driver appeal to a woefully uninteresting class of cars. And now the new one - pictured - is here.
