After the overall UK Top 10 models and thanks to SMMT, as is the tradition on BSCB we can now share with you the Top 10 best-sellers for each UK nation for November. As it has been the case for most of the year so far, England sales – representing 86.5% of the overall UK market – are the saving grace: up 5% year-on-year to 154.384 whereas Scotland (-0.07%), Wales (-3%) and Northern Ireland (-5%) all post negative year-on-year results. Northern Ireland even returns to negative territory year-to-date at -0.07% with one month left to the year. Like last month, the Ford Fiesta only tops two nations in November: England and Wales, with the Hyundai Tucson spectacularly shooting up to the top spot in Northern Ireland thanks to 111 sales and 3.5% share. The Vauxhall Corsa tops Scottish sales as per its year-to-date ranking there.

The Dacia Sandero ranks #2 in Scotland.

If as usual the English ranking is very similar to the UK one – with the Audi A3 overtaking the Vauxhall Insignia to #8 in England – in Northern Ireland it’s a different story: below the Hyundai Tucson, surprise leader, the Ford Kuga is up 8 spots on last month to make the Top two 100% SUV, with the Kia Sportage adding to the total at #8. In Scotland the Renault Group posts a stellar performance, placing the Dacia Sandero at #2 only 36 units off the market leader, the Renault Captur at #3 and Renault Clio at #4. In Wales, the Ford Ecosport confirms it is now a Top 10 blockbuster, improving its record ranking two spots to #7. Notice also the Vauxhall Insignia ranking #3 in Northern Ireland and #7 in Scotland and the Vauxhall Mokka fittingly celebrating a record 5th overall UK ranking by appearing in each nation’s Top 6: #4 in Wales, #5 in England and #6 in both Northern Ireland and Scotland.
