The UK PC market increased by 9.3% in 2014 (2/2-Carmakers)
- In 2014, the manufacturers that made the most progress in the UK market were the Renault-Nissan , Volkswagen, Daimler-Chrysler and Fiat (FCA) groups. In this market no manufacturer sold less in 2014 than in 2013, but we note that the GM group sold almost the same amount of vehicles in 2014 than in 2013, weighed down by the removal of the Chevrolet brand. Renault-Nissan increased due to the growth of the Dacia brand, the arrival of the new Note and the Captur.
- In terms of volume, the Volkswagen Group consolidated its leading position in the UK market (512 000 sales). Far behind the Volkswagen group, two US automakers follow, Ford and GM, both of these groups have been long established in this market. These two manufacturers outperformed Renault-Nissan, BMW and PSA groups.
- Regarding models, like in 2013, two Ford vehicles monopolised the first two places, the Fiesta (131 000 sales) and the Focus (85 000 sales), followed by the Vauxhall Corsa (82 000 sales), Volkswagen Golf (75 000 sales ) and Vauxhall Astra (60 000 sales). These models are traditionally the most requested in the fleet market representing more than one out of two sales in Britain. Followed by the Nissan Qashqai (50 000 sales), Volkswagen Polo (48 000 sales) Fiat 500 (46 000 sales, the same volume as in Italy!), Audi A3 (45 000 sales) and Nissan Juke (39 000 sales).
