    Nissan Achieves Two Cars In 2024 Top 5 UK Best Sellers

    Only one brand had two cars in 2024’s top-five best-sellers – and they’re both built in Britain


Following 2024 success that delivered a refreshed product line-up, award-winning models and two of the nation’s favourite cars, Nissan GB is accelerating into an electric year ahead.

It was the only UK brand to finish the last year with two cars in the top-five best-sellers list, thanks to the British-built Qashqai and Juke, which found homes with 76,872 of the UK’s new car buyers.

The achievement meant Nissan GB powered to 100,446 car sales in 2024, up 12.3% on 2023, securing a 5.14% market share (up almost half a percent over 2023).

Qashqai and Juke’s popularity also ensured Nissan’s 6,000-strong team in Sunderland proudly retained its title as the UK’s all-time most successful vehicle manufacturing plant.

Half a million electrified cars have rolled off the production line there in recent years, pushing the total production number to an unsurpassed 11.5m cars since it opened in 1986.

Diana Torres, managing director of Nissan GB, said: “2024 was a challenging year in our industry, so to have secured these results is a testament to the hard work of everyone in our organisation, including our dealer partners, and to the strength of our vehicle line-up.


“It gives us powerful momentum as we look forward to an exciting year ahead for our brand and, with new cars like the Ariya NISMO arriving imminently, I am confident we have the people, products and partners for success in 2025.”

2024 saw significant changes to Nissan’s UK line-up with upgraded versions of the Qashqai and Juke crossovers, new variants of X-Trail and Ariya, and the unveil of the new Interstar van, which is available with both diesel and fully electric power.

These changes didn’t go unnoticed either, with eight trophies awarded to Nissan in 2024 in recognition of its new and used vehicle strengths, and uniquely innovative powertrains.

Even its UK-based engineering teams were singled out for praise, with David Moss and his Cranfield-based research and development teams picking up a prestigious Autocar award in recognition of services to engineering.

  • Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Howards Garages (Weston) Ltd to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

    We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

    Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

    Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

    All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required.
