Vauxhall Concludes 2024 as the UK’s Best-Selling Electric Car Brand Across Retail and Motability Channels Combined

Vauxhall has emerged as the UK’s best-selling electric car brand across retail and Motability channels combined, securing an 8.2% market share, according to the 2024 new vehicle registration figures released today by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Driven by the continued success of the Corsa Electric and Mokka Electric, Vauxhall topped the combined B-segment electric sales charts. The Corsa Electric remained the UK’s best-selling electric supermini, with over 4,000 units sold in 2024.

Vauxhall’s total electric car sales rose to 15,862 units in 2024, up from 12,026 the previous year—an increase of 31%, boosting its share of the electric car market to 4.15% (surpassing its 4.04% share of the overall car market).

In the LCV (light commercial vehicle) segment, Vauxhall finished 2024 as the UK’s second best-selling van brand (excluding pick-ups), with sales climbing from 34,632 to 36,474 units and market share increasing from 9.93% to 10.08%. The Vauxhall Combo was the UK’s second best-selling compact van in 2024, while the Vivaro secured second place in the medium van segment.

James Taylor, Managing Director of Vauxhall, commented:

"2024 was a milestone year for Vauxhall as we fulfilled our commitment to offering a fully electric version of every car and van in our lineup. Our electric models continue to gain popularity, and Vauxhall is leading the way in electric car sales across retail and Motability channels combined. With our refreshed SUV lineup, including the New Frontera and New Grandland, we now have two models in the highly popular C-SUV segment. I’m confident that even more UK drivers will make the switch to electric with Vauxhall in 2025 and beyond."

Smith Motors Limited, trading as Smiths Nissan, Smiths Vauxhall and Smiths Motor Group to act as a credit broker, not 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 are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach 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 most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders 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; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

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. For further information you can visit their website at www.nationalconciliationservice.co.uk or call 01788 538317.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
