MG Sells Over 81,500 Cars In The UK In 2024.

[Buster72]

The 81,536 MGs sold last year put the Shanghai-owned manufacturer 10th in the standings for most popular brands of 2024.

Its selection of affordable combustion and electric cars has seen it climb up the order in recent years.

To put its popularity into perspective, more MGs were bought in the UK than Vauxhalls (78,895), Skodas (78,601), Peugeots (68,905), Volvos (66,408), Land Rovers (61,290), Renaults (57,967), Teslas (50,334), Minis (46,975), Seats (36,782), Dacias (31,457) and Hondas (30,636).

Good to know, I wonder how many were MG4s? Since we're constantly being told the demand for EVs isn't there anymore..

Those figures are very surprising to me. I did not think MG had such a large market share.

Based on those makes only , MG has just over 7% share of the top 10 market.

Just to add to this, the MG4 is the most popular EV in the UK - Carwow.

I wonder how many are pre-registered to get MG into the top 10, though?

I've been scouring Autotrader quite a bit and recently seen at least 2 "brand new" cars for sale from dealers that were registered on 31/12/2024.

They wouldn't pull a sneaky thing like that would they .... maybe they registered them thinking they would sell them over the Christmas New Yr break when registration would be difficult

The figures are in for January, and for the UK, 1 in 5 new cars sold was a BEV. That's a 34% increase.

Funny that, considering that no ones buying them.

The anti EV (ostriches) still won't have it though, sad innit.
