SUVs dominate fastest selling cars of 2024
The top four and seven of the top 10 fastest selling cars of 2024 were SUVs, according to research carried out by AA Cars.
It found that the fastest selling car last year was the Toyota C-HR, a compact crossover SUV, ahead of the Mercedes GLA.
The Kia Niro and Volvo XC40 were the third and fourth fastest selling cars, ahead of the Toyota Corolla.
Meanwhile, new entries into this year’s top 10 include the Audi A4, Mercedes E Class, and Mercedes C Class.
James Hosking, director of AA Cars, said: “SUVs have topped the charts for the second consecutive year as the fastest-selling vehicle of 2024. These versatile vehicles are highly sought after by families, with compact SUVs emerging as a particularly popular choice, suitable for a variety of needs and budget.
“However, while SUVs are snapped up the quickest, only two appear on the list of the top ten most-searched-for cars — the Land Rover Defender and the Volkswagen Tiguan.
“The Ford Fiesta continues to be the most searched-for vehicle, and extends its reign to ten years. The Ford Focus secured second place, underlining Ford’s continued strong market presence.
“Our research shows a growing consumer preference for SUVs and established brands in the used car market. Buyers are increasingly choosing pre-owned vehicles that offer reliability, versatility, and value for money.”
