VAUXHALL INCREASES MARKET SHARE WITH CORSA & COMBO NAMED UK BEST-SELLERS

Vauxhall has made a strong start to 2026, posting month-to-month and year-on-year increases across combined car and van vehicle sales, finishing fourth in the market and boosting its total market share to 5.8%, according to the latest new vehicle registration figures published today by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

This success has been fuelled by the continued popularity of Vauxhall’s extensive passenger car and van range. The Corsa continues to be a key driver of Vauxhall’s strong positioning in the car market by not only being the UK’s best-selling small car in January 2026, but also with 35,976 units sold in 2025.

In total, Vauxhall saw a 1.8% rise in cars sold year-on-year in January, with a total of 7,218 registrations. This includes New Frontera, which has made a charge since its launch, claiming its position as the second most-sold model in the compact electric SUV segment.

In the van market, Vauxhall has seen significant gains with a 28% year-on-year increase in registrations, resulting in a market share boost from 8.1% to 12.1% and Vauxhall finishing second in the market. Popular and practical models have powered this increase, with the Vauxhall Combo claiming top spot as the UK’s best-selling small van in January.

Eurig Druce, Vauxhall Managing Director & Stellantis UK Group Managing Director, said: “We’re seeing good growth across both car and van markets, resulting in Vauxhall claiming two UK best-selling vehicles. Corsa and Combo are staples in the UK market, consistently topping the sales charts, but we’re pleased to see the new Frontera has quickly resonated with customers looking for a sharply designed and great value family car. These early achievements demonstrate positive momentum for the year ahead as demand for Vauxhall’s accessible and practical vehicles continues to grow.”
