The all-new Vauxhall Corsa was the UK’s best-selling new car in January, according to figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Despite Covid-19 restrictions requiring showrooms to remain closed throughout the month, January proved a successful start to the year for Vauxhall with 8,414 new cars and vans sold. The new Corsa was the best selling model with 3,078 sold.

The success across both new car and van sales saw Vauxhall increase its UK market share across these sectors from 7.0% to 7.3% year-on-year.
