The Corsa remains Britain’s best-selling small car in 2026. The new Frontera is also making waves in the market, driving sales and increasing market share as the second most-sold model in the compact electric SUV segment. There is more still to come from Vauxhall as we continue to expand our vehicle line-up, with the new Astra and exciting Corsa GSE on the way later this year, and build on this positive momentum.”
