This is a first for me, combining passenger car and light commercial registrations for the UK. It puts Ford on top thanks to its strong LCV presence.
Volkswagen has closed the gap, but only by virtue of falling less.
Kia has entered the UK's LCV market in 2026 and is doing very well with that. Vauxhall has done well all round and moved up four places but BMW has been unable to emulate Mercedes-Benz' success.
Despite production issues, Land Rover has done well to increase its market share by 19%. It's LCV division is up 37% YOY and exceeded 2,600 registrations.
Chinese brands are making their presence felt at the expense of legacy brands. The Jaecoo 7 was the best selling model in March. The way the EU bullied the UK in recent times, I have no sympathy if their car makers are finding the going tough.
