Vauxhall Corsa Named UK's Best Selling Car Of 2021

The Vauxhall Corsa has been named the UK's best selling car in 2021, with 40,914 sold in 2021, according to figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). The newest generation of Corsa was first launched at the end of 2019, and is available with petrol, diesel and fully electric powertrains.

The Corsa-e was one of the most popular small EV's in the UK last year, which accounted for 5,605 of total Corsa registrations. The sales of the Corsa-e rose by 97% last year compared to 2020.

Paul Willcox, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said:

“The Vauxhall Corsa fully deserves to be back at the top of the UK sales charts as the nation’s favourite new car. Alongside its design, innovative technology and affordable pricing, a full choice of powertrain technologies has been very popular – with customers able to choose between the fully-electric Corsa-e or our efficient petrol and diesel engines. We’ve just enhanced the range of the Corsa-e and made it even more attainable so we’re confident that Corsa will continue to prove popular with UK buyers.”

Vauxhall accounted for 5.5% of the UK new car market in 2021, selling more than 91,452 cars. Vauxhall's retail market share grew up 0.6 of a percentage point from 4.76% to 5.36%, one of the fastest rates in the industry. There have been five generations of Corsa since its UK launch in 1993, with over two million Vauxhall Corsa models being sold since. The most popular colour among Corsa models sold in 2021 was Quartz Grey, closely followed by Jade White and Diamond Black. Across Vauxhall's range of cars and LCV's, there are already five fully-electric models and following the launch of the All-new Astra, two plug-in hybrid models. By 2024, Vauxhall is committed to offer an electrified variant of every model in it's line-up, and to only sell electric models from 2028.

Financial Disclosure

F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd are Appointed Representatives of Automotive Compliance Ltd, who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows F.P. Smith Holdings (Newark Avenue) Limited, F.P. Smith Holdings (Ilkeston) Ltd, and F.P. Smith Motors Ltd to act as a credit broker, not as a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We can introduce you to a selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. An introduction to a lender does not amount to independent financial advice and we act as their agent for this introduction. Our approach for a new car purchase is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next best offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure the best deal you are eligible for from our panel of lenders. Lenders may pay a fixed commission to us for introducing you to them, calculated by reference to the vehicle model or amount you borrow.

Different lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender concerned. If you ask us what the amount of commission is, we will tell you in good time before the Finance agreement is executed. All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18’s or over. Guarantees may be required.

In the event of disputes we are unable to resolve the Retail Motor Industry Federation (RMI) National Conciliation Service will offer free impartial advice and when appropriate an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service that we are fully committed to.
