Top 5 Larger Car Models UK : 2017/18


Upper: Dropping from 9.6% to 8.1% of the market shows this segment is falling out of favour. It has been consistent for several years but 2018 saw a change in fortune. This was the 7th year the 3-Series was the best selling and the 4-Series made it a 1-2 for the brand.

Executive: This has been a consistent category in the UK regarding its share of sales. 2018 was down slightly to 4.6%. Mercedes has had the top two places for the past nine years.

Luxury: This is another stable area of sales, with fluctuations but over the years little change overall in its share. Understandably, volume is limited.
