Through November 2019, the Volkswagen Golf soldiers on as the leader of new car sales in Europe. The same applies to the United Kingdom, where the Golf has been crowned the most popular car of the year based on ad views.
Auto Trader ran the numbers, and the Golf leads the list with 1,307,303 views from a total of 38 million. The second and third most popular nameplates in the UK as per the study are the Ford Focus with 846,212 views and the Fiesta subcompact hatchback with 721,306 views. Land Rover takes the fourth and fifth spots with the full-sized Range Rover and mid-sized Range Rover Sport.
The five remaining places go to the BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Land Rover Range Rover Evoque, Volkswagen Polo, and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class with 460,924 ad views online. If we’re talking brands, Audi is the most desirable of the lot with a total of 4,814,795 views since January 2019.
“Audi’s performance shows the strength of its brand across all classes and price brackets,” said Rory Reid, best known for presenting Top Gear until the end of the 26th season. “The Volkswagen Golf also performs well, indicating the strength of this evergreen brand with new car buyers.” If you were wondering, Rory currently owns a BMW X5 as well as a Ford Mustang GT.
If we’re talking EVs, the Audi e-tron quattro came on top of Tesla and other pretenders. That’s a bit of a questionable outcome from Auto Trader’s part given how few are sold every month, and needless to say, the e-tron isn’t on par with the Tesla Model Y in terms of range. Right, let's move on!
At the top of their priorities, customers in the UK want features such as air conditioning or climate control, electric windows, and a cavernous trunk. The least popular features, funnily enough, are the panoramic sunroof, heated steering wheel, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. On that bombshell, care to guess which is the United Kingdom’s favorite color for a new car?
According to Auto Trader, that would be black.
