The Hyundai Tucson is one of the UK’s most popular SUVs and regularly appeared in the top 10 last year. Arguably the most premium option in the top 10, it was renewed in 2021 with a fresh front end with a unique, eye-catching lighting set-up. Its plush interior and range of electrified powertrains are attractive propositions for many Brits.
6 Nissan Juke – 18,380 units
The Juke helped Nissan complete a perfect one-two for year-to-date sales in March, but it has slipped slightly at the mid-point of the year. The small crossover went on sale with a brand new design in 2020, then a facelift arrived in the middle of last year, along with hybrid power for the first time.
7 Kia Sportage – 18,057 units
Consistency is key for the Kia Sportage, which entered its fifth generation at the tail end of last year. It looks like the SUV will once again prove a smash hit for Kia in 2023, thanks to its eye-catching design, on-trend powertrains and strong value for money. It consistently finished in the top 10 last year.
8 Mini 3dr/5dr – 15,892 units
Despite its age, the Mini hatchback continues to be as popular as ever. Last year, it finished ahead of superminis such as the Volkswagen Polo and Toyota Yaris. With a versatile line-up of petrol, electric and John Cooper Works performance variants, the Mini can always be relied on for drivability and alluring looks. A hotly anticipated new model will arrive next year.
9 Ford Fiesta – 15,359 units
It’s sad to see the Fiesta’s continued popularity with the knowledge that it will be leaving the Ford range later this week, bringing an end to 47 years of production. Its popularity is down to its versatility and all-round excellent driving dynamics, while the ST performance variant still holds up as one of the best hot hatches on the market.
10 Vauxhall Mokka – 14,996 units
