The UK’s used car market grew by 5.5% to 7,643,180 transactions in 2024, according to the latest figures published today by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Marking eight quarters of continuous growth, the year saw 400,488 more vehicles change hands than in 2023, with growth in the new car market fuelling availability and wider choice within the used sector.1 Transactions rose in every month in 2024, as they did in 2023, with Q4 up 4.0% to 1,746,051 units. The top three popular body types remained the same for another year, with superminis taking the top spot, accounting for one in three (32.3%) of all used cars sold in 2024. Lower medium held second place, with a 27.1% share of the market and dual purpose vehicles rounded off the podium, making up 15.9% of sales. Dual purpose recorded the strongest rise in volumes, up 10.7%, reflecting they are now the bestselling segment in the new car market. At the other end of the spectrum, luxury saloons represented just 0.5% of the market.

While grey remained most popular in the new car market, black cars were favoured among used car buyers, with more than 1.6 million (21.3%) opting for the colour. Grey was second, with a 17.6% share and blue third, taking 16.2% of sales. Combined, the top three hues accounted for more than half (55.1%) of all cars sold. Meanwhile, 5,171 buyers opted for a pink motor – an increase of 301 vehicles on 2023, while 4,659 maroon cars found new owners, pushing the shade up to displace cream, which saw 4,657 transactions, as the least popular colour. Turquoise cars saw the largest growth in 2024, up 11.2% to 8,266 cars, while grey saw the largest volume gain – up more than 117,000 units to 1.349 million.

Demand continued to soar for used battery electric cars (BEVs), rising some 57.4% to a record 188,382 units and achieving a new high for market share, at 2.5%, up from 1.7% in 2023 and 13 times larger than back in 2019. BEV share in Q4 was 2.7%, matching Q3’s performance.2 Sales of plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and hybrids (HEVs) also grew, up 32.2% to 92,120 units and 39.3% to 306,114 units respectively.

Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive, said,

The used car sector’s 25-month growth streak is good news for fleet renewal and for consumers benefitting from the greater choice filtering through from the new market. Record sales of second hand EVs also demonstrates strong appetite for these cutting-edge cars at lower price points. Ensuring ongoing growth, however, means maintaining that affordability, along with supply, which requires meaningful fiscal incentives to stimulate consumer demand for new EVs and removing the VED expensive car tax disincentive that risks dragging down used EV affordability for years to come. We will continue to report on industry news in future issues.

The All-New Dacia Spring is named ‘Bargain of the Year’ by the Best Cars of the Year expert judging panel

100% electric All-New Dacia Spring praised for its affordability and practicality

The UK’s most affordable new electric car is now available to order at www.dacia.co.uk or from any official retailer, priced from only £14,995 on-the-road

The All-New Dacia Spring is a big deal in every sense after being judged ‘Best Car Bargain of the Year 2024/2025’ by the independent organisation, Best Cars of the Year. Comprising of industryleading car designers, engineers and executives together with motorsport icons and automotive media professionals, the Best Cars of the Year judging panel singled out the pure-electric AllNew Spring for its value and versatility.

A star of the Best Cars of the Year stand at the recent British Motor Show, the All-New Dacia Spring is priced at only £14,995 on-the-road, making it the UK’s most affordable new electric car. Ahead of the first customer deliveries later this year, orders are now open and static left-handdrive versions are displayed in Dacia retailers nationwide for

customers to see, touch and feel.

The success of the All-New Dacia Spring in Best Cars of the Year’s annual New Car World Championships follows the Dacia Jogger picking up the same award at last year’s ceremony.

On Best Cars of the Year declaring the All-New Dacia Spring an unbeatable bargain, judge Dr Andy Palmer said: “The Dacia Spring is great for several reasons – particularly among those looking for an affordable, practical efficient electric vehicle. It’s especially suited to urban environments and short to medium commutes. So, upon full consideration, I’m going with the new Dacia Spring.”

Rewriting the EV rulebook, the All-New Spring combines its incredible value with a comprehensive standard

specification and everyday usability. It offers a choice of Expression and Extreme trim levels and has a range of up to 140 miles (WLTP mixed cycle) or 186 miles (WLTP urban cycle).

The Spring can be ordered with a 45 hp, or a more powerful 65 hp/48 kW motor. Using its 7kW charger, the compact 26.8 kWh battery can be charged from 20% to 100% on a suitable domestic outlet in less than 11 hours, or in just four hours on a 7kW charger. The standard specification includes such features as a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, cruise control, manual air conditioning, rear parking sensors, Media Control system with USB port, electric front windows and remote central locking.

Wherevertheroadsleadyou,theMazdaCX-5 deliverspowerfuldrivingdynamicspairedwithnew fuel-savingMazdaMHybridtechnology

The latest Mazda CX-5 builds on the success of the significantly updated Mazda CX-5, which made its debut in January 2022, so it’s no surprise that the award-winning styling, cabin and chassis of Mazda’s spacious and dynamic SUV remains unchanged.

The newest Mazda CX-5 sees the introduction of 24v Mazda M Hybrid mild-hybrid technology across all petrol models, while the addition of cylinder deactivation to 165ps petrol automatic models, means all petrol CX-5s now feature this efficient technology – the result of both updates is a petrol CX-5 range average CO2 reduction of 9g/km.

Other incremental updates to the Mazda CX-5 include the introduction of wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, while the front USB ports are changed to USB-C. Additionally, the Mazda CX-5 is offered with Mazda’s signature paint colour – Rhodium White, which made its debut on the larger Mazda CX-60 SUV. Like Soul Red Crystal and Machine Grey, Rhodium White is created using Mazda’s fantastic Takuminuri painting technology.

The Mazda CX-5 retains the same 15-model line-up, but it now features new trim level naming to match other cars in the Mazda family. The Mazda CX-5 range features five trim levels: Centre-Line, Newground, Exclusive-Line, Homura and Takumi. Individual model grades feature subtle styling differentiation to give customers the option of choosing a CX-5 with a unique character and focus.

The three stand out trim grades: Newground, Homura and Takumi each have a distinct personality to ensure the CX-5 range offers lots of choice for individual style.

The entry point to the CX-5 range is the Centre-Line model, which is offered with the 165ps e-Skyactiv G petrol. Also offered exclusively with the 165ps e-Skyactiv G engine, the stand-out Newground features a slightly more rugged look with front and rear silver underguard trims matched to silver lower body side skirts, black door mirrors and 19inch black diamond cut alloy wheels. Subtle lime green accents in the grille are replicated inside where the black half leatherette seats have matching green piping. Perfect for an active lifestyle, the boot even features a reversible waterproof boot floor.

The Exclusive-Line is offered with a choice of 165ps e-Skyactiv G petrol or 184ps Skyactiv-D diesel.

The Homura trim is another model that offers customers a unique look, offered exclusively with the 165ps e-Skyactiv G petrol engine and front wheel drive, it delivers a sportier interpretation of the CX-5’s look with gloss black detailing on the wheel arches, side mouldings, door mirrors and signature wing grille surround. Subtle red accents within the grille and 19-inch black alloy wheels finish the sporty look, while inside the black leather seats feature red stitching, which is also found around the cabin in areas like the door trim, centre console and steering wheel.

Sitting at the top of the Mazda CX-5 range, the Takumi is a premium flagship model that combines a unified one-colour exterior with a high-class interior that features the smooth tactility of brown Nappa leather and the luxurious textures of genuine woodgrain. Externally, the single colour body and trim details highlight the CX-5’s dynamic proportions, while the cabin features the luxurious materials and high levels of technology you’d expect of a premium SUV.

The Mazda CX-5 Takumi also features a wide choice of engine, drivetrain and transmission with both the 2.0-litre 165ps e-Skyactiv G and 194ps 2.5-litre e-Skyactiv G petrol available. As before, the 165ps engine is matched to front wheel drive, while the larger 194ps petrol comes exclusively with all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. The Takumi is also offered with the 184ps Skyactiv-D diesel matched to all-wheel drive.

Thanks to the unique styling of the Newground, Homura and Takumi models, and a 15-model range, the Mazda CX-5 is a family SUV tailored around customers to give them more choice and options for personalisation.

Benefiting from the new styling introduced in January 2022, the Mazda CX-5 features the latest evolution of its award-winning Kodo Design. The front and rear bumper designs combine with the headlight and taillight clusters to give the CX-5 a distinctly modern and sharper look. At the front the three-dimensional and powerful grille design is combined with a signature wing trim that no longer heads into the lamp cluster, while at the rear the bumper shape and strong taillight design sharpens the rear styling.

The Mazda CX-5 features Mazda Intelligent Drive select (Mi-Drive), which enables the driver to select the most appropriate drive mode with one touch of a switch. On 194ps petrol Takumi models the i-Activ AWD system now benefits from an Off-Road Mode, which makes driving feel more natural on un-made and slippery surfaces. Other tech highlights include wireless Qi phone charging tray in the centre console, while the updated range of i-Activsense safety systems standard across the range includes Cruise & Traffic Support (CTS). CTS helps reduce driver fatigue by assisting with accelerator, brake pedal and steering operations when stuck in traffic jams.

Jeremy Thomson, Managing Director, Mazda Motors UK, said: “the Mazda CX-5 is an incredibly important car in Mazda’s history. From the launch of the original first-generation car in 2012 it has been a hugely popular choice for UK SUV buyers, who have loved its style, quality and driver engagement. It’s the car that established Mazda as a maker of genuinely sporty SUVs, which deliver class leading quality and high levels of standard equipment”.

Adding, “with the introduction of Mazda M Hybrid technology across all petrol models, CX-5 customers will benefit from improved efficiency, plus lower fuel and tax costs.

Ultimately, the Mazda CX-5 is built for active families, offering an engaging drive and advanced safety technologies. The stunning design never fails to impress, particularly adorned in Rhodium White.

The sportiest electric Start of pre-sales for the

Volkswagen is upping the ante by launching a new, even sportier version of the ID.3 GTX. In addition to the ID.3 GTX, which delivers 210 kW (285 PS), the new ID.3 GTX Performance with 240 kW (326 PS) is now also available to order. This means that the electric compact sports car is equipped with Volkswagen’s most powerful electric drive motor. Both GTX versions effortlessly convert their power into traction on the rear axle. The body and chassis layout offers significant benefits here: with the new 79 kWh battery (net) located in the sandwich floor and precisely in the centre of the vehicle, this design offers a sporty low centre of gravity and ideal axle load distribution for driving dynamics and vehicle handling that guarantees plenty of fun.

•More power for more enjoyment behind the wheel: Volkswagen’s most powerful electric drive motor with 240 kW (326 PS) delivers acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds

• Agile running gear and responsive steering. Debut of the new adaptive Sport DCC

•The ID.3 product line’s flagship model: the new ID.3 GTX Performance is arriving on the market with an individualised design and extensive standard equipment

electric Volkswagen to date: the ID.3 GTX Performanc e

Kai Grünitz, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Development, says: “With its spontaneous and superior power delivery, the new ID.3 GTX Performance is for me the electric counterpart to our sporty compact car icon, the Golf GTI Clubsport. Of course, an electric drive and a turbocharged petrol engine each have their own unique character. Yet the ID.3 GTX Performance and the Golf GTI Clubsport share the same fascinating lightness when they accelerate.”

Powerful engine, large battery and high charging capacity. The ID.3 GTX Performance is the first model to feature an enhanced version of the Volkswagen Performance drive system. Here the output could be increased from 210 kW (ID.3 GTX) to 240 kW (ID.3 GTX Performance). The electric drive motor produces a maximum torque of 545 Nm for both output ratings –thus exceeding the drive power of the most powerful Volkswagen V6 turbocharged engines.

In the GTX Performance version, the ID.3 packs a powerful punch, sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.7 seconds. The drive is not electronically limited until 200 km/h –a first for the ID. family. The energy comes from a 79 kWh lithium-ion battery (net), which absorbs up to 185 kW of power at DC quickcharging stations thanks to innovative charging and thermal management with battery pre-conditioning.

The battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent again in about 26 minutes. The ID.3 GTX Performance’s WLTP range is up to 601 km. Sports DCC for the topof-the-line version. The GTX-specific running gear is equipped with stronger stabilisers and is tuned to the drive system’s very high performance. The basic layout consists of a MacPherson front axle and a five-link rear axle with a sophisticated guidance system. The progressive steering system, which has been adapted to the ID.3 GTX, is fitted as standard.

The ID.3 GTX Performance can also be equipped with the modified Sport DCC

adaptive chassis control. The newly configured Vehicle Dynamics Manager uses more sensor signals than before. As a result, the system is able to better detect how the wheels and body are moving in order to control the shock absorbers accordingly by means of refined algorithms. This ensures precise handling and perfect roadholding – and not just in sporty driving situations.

Sporty GTX design. The ID.3 GTX and the new ID.3 GTX Performance differ from the other models in the product line with their special design elements. The GTX-specific front bumper features a new independent black air intake in a diamond-style design and customised signature light. The 20inch Skagen GTX wheel rim is available completely in black as an option. A host of GTX-specific features also customise the vehicle interior. Simple and intuitive operation. The new ID.3 GTX Performance comes with the latest generation of software and infotainment system with a 12.9inch (32.8-centimetre) display, the IDA voice assistant with ChatGPT and an improved, intuitive

operating concept. In addition, optional features such as the enhanced augmented reality head-up display, a redesigned Wellness app and the premium sound system from Harman Kardon are available.

Standard systems. The ID.3 GTX already has a wide range of state-ofthe-art assist systems as standard to ensure comfort and safety on board. These include the cruise control system (can be extended to Adaptive Cruise Control ACC by an upgrade), Autonomous Emergency Braking (Front Assist) with pedestrian and cyclist monitoring, lane keeping system Lane Assist, oncoming vehicle braking when turning function and Dynamic Road Sign Display. Also included as standard: the Car2X traffic hazard alert function. Systems such as Connected Travel Assist with online data utilisation are optionally available. This system enables assisted longitudinal and lateral guidance over the entire speed range as well as assisted lane changing on motorways. In addition, lane guidance without detected lane markings is possible if online data is available.
