Biggest growers and fallers
A sales blitz including the two volume-orientated brands Vauxhall and Nissan has helped continue the growth of late 2012 into the new year.
Vauxhall had taken its foot off the throttle in January 2012, so its 50.7% growth has restored its market position, while Nissan aggressively positions its UK-built Qashqai and Juke to tap into crossover buyers.
Land Rover has sustained its growth even though Evoque was on sale 12 months ago.
