Thanks to SMMT I can share with you the Top 10 models in Northern Ireland, and this will now become a monthly update on BSCB! And I have a few other surprises for you in store. Remember these figures are already included in the monthly UK updates, this is a zoom into Northern Ireland, where new car sales are up 15% year-on-year in June to 5,648 registrations and up 7% year-to-date at 29,998 units. Like in the UK overall, the Ford Fiesta and Focus dominate both rankings 4.9% and 5.1% share for the former and 3.6% each time for the latter. In June, the Vauxhall Astra is up one spot on its UK ranking to #3 thanks to 163 sales and 2.9% while it’s the VW Golf that ranks third year-to-date at 943 units and 3.1%.

The Nissan Juke is up to #8 in Northern Ireland in June.

Further down the Top 10, it becomes really clear that Northern Ireland buyers are even more keen on Japanese SUVs than UK consumers overall: the Nissan Qashqai is #5 here both in June and year-to-date at 2.8% share, the Nissan Juke is up to a fantastic 8th place this month with 131 sales and 2.3% and #9 year-to-date, but the most impressive performance is delivered by the Kia Sportage at #10 year-to-date thanks to 688 sales and 2.3% share!
