VAUXHALL ENDS 2024 AS THE UK’S BEST-SELLING ELECTRIC CAR BRAND ACROSS RETAIL AND MOTABILITY CHANNELS COMBINED

• Vauxhall is the leading electric car brand in 2024 across retail and Motability channels combined
• Success of Corsa Electric and Mokka Electric positions Vauxhall as the leading brand for electric sales in the combined B-segment in 2024
• Corsa Electric named the UK’s best-selling electric supermini of 2024
• Vauxhall sold over 15,000 electric cars in 2024, with a 4.15% share of the electric car market
• Vauxhall was the UK’s second best-selling van manufacturer in 2024 (excluding pick-ups), while the Vauxhall Combo placed second in the compact van segment
• Vauxhall has met its commitment to offer a fully electric version of every car and van model in its line-up by the end of 2024

Vauxhall is the leading electric car brand across retail and Motability channels combined, with an 8.2% market share, according to the 2024 new vehicle registration figures published today by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Supported by the continued popularity of the Corsa Electric and Mokka Electric, the latest figures rank Vauxhall top of the electric sales charts in the combined B-segment. The popular Corsa Electric retained its position as the UK’s best-selling electric supermini, with over 4,000 units sold last year.

Vauxhall’s electric car sales grew to 15,862 in 2024, up from 12,026 the previous year, giving the brand a 4.15% share of the electric car market – an increase of 31 per cent and higher than its share of the overall car market (4.04%).

In the LCV market, Vauxhall ended 2024 as the UK’s second best-selling van manufacturer (excluding pick-ups), with sales volume increasing from 34,632 to 36,474 and the brand’s market share growing from 9.93% to 10.08%. This success was partly driven by the new Vauxhall Combo, which was the UK’s second best-selling compact van in 2024, while the Vivaro ranked second in the medium van segment.

James Taylor, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “2024 marked a significant milestone for Vauxhall as we met our commitment to offer a fully electric version across our entire car and van line-up. Last year also saw our electric models continue to grow in popularity, with Vauxhall leading the way in electric car sales across retail and Motability channels combined. With our refreshed SUV line-up, including New Frontera and New Grandland, we now offer two models in the most-popular C-SUV segment and I’m confident this will see more and more UK drivers switch to electric with Vauxhall in 2025 and beyond.”
