As a teaser to overall UK sales and thanks to data communicated by SMMT, I give you the Top 10 best-selling models for each UK nation for February. Keep in mind this is a zoom in into 4 separate nations that compose the UK market, so these figures are not in addition to the UK. This month Scotland (+15%) is the best performing nation, followed by Wales (+14%) and England (+12%) while Northern Ireland (+2%) struggles once again but at least is back into positive territory. Even though it is #1 nationally, the Ford Fiesta only tops 2 out of 4 nations in February: the VW Golf justifies its 2nd spot overall in the UK by a strong English score and the pole position in Northern Ireland, while the Vauxhall Corsa dominates Scottish sales for the 4th month in a row, and by far at 7.3% share vs. 4.9% for the Fiesta. One nation where the Fiesta is unreachable is Wales: 11.4% share this month…

The Mini is up to #4 in Scotland.

In the lower rankings, notice the Vauxhall Insignia up to #6 in England vs. #7 nationally and #5 inScotland, the BMW 1 Series benefiting from discounted rates before the facelifted model hits dealerships and ranking #10 in England and #5 in Scotland and the Mini at #4 in Scotland. The Mercedes C-Class, very strong in England at #8, also makes its first Top 10 appearance in Scotland in at least 2 years at #10, while the Hyundai ix35 (Northern Ireland), Vauxhall Mokka, Toyota Yaris, Peugeot 208 and Suzuki Alto (Wales) also point their bonnet in the Top 10 of one UK nation this month.
