VAUXHALL REMAINS THE TOP CHOICE FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES IN RETAIL AND MOTABILITY MARKETS IN 2024

• Vauxhall continues to be the leading electric car brand year-to-date 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
• Corsa Electric named the UK’s best-selling electric supermini of 2024 year-to-date
• By the end of 2024, all Vauxhall cars and vans will be available with a fully electric version

Vauxhall continues to be the leading electric car brand across retail and Motability channels combined, according to the latest 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 sales charts in the combined B-segment. The popular Corsa Electric was once again listed as the best selling electric supermini in October, helping the model to rank top of its segment for sales year-to-date.

Vauxhall achieved an electric car sales mix of 24.7% in October, whilst the brand also saw success with last month’s van sales, listing second in the overall LCV market year-to-date. 

James Taylor, Managing Director, Vauxhall, said: “Vauxhall is dedicated to making electric vehicles accessible to all, ensuring that every model in our line-up will have an electric variant by year-end. As a leader among retail and Motability customers, our Corsa Electric and Mokka Electric models continue to attract drivers across the country.

“The introduction of the New Frontera also marks a first in offering both electric and petrol hybrid options at the same price, a milestone in our mission in achieving accessible electric mobility.”

Vauxhall is one of few mainstream automotive brands to produce vans in Britain at its manufacturing plants in Luton, home of the Vivaro, and Ellesmere Port, the UK’s first EV-only manufacturing plant. Vauxhall has been the UK’s best-selling electric light commercial vehicle manufacturer since 2021, while among its passenger car line-up, the Vauxhall Corsa was the UK’s best-selling new car in 2021.

Vauxhall is part of Stellantis NV, a global leader created for the new era of sustainable mobility as a result of the merger between Groupe PSA and FCA Group in January 2021.
