Vauxhall sold 20,778 cars in Scotland last year, accounting for 11.1% of the market. With more than 5000 sold last year, the Corsa was Scotland’s second best-selling car, outperformed only by the Ford Fiesta.
Two other Vauxhall models featured in Scotland’s top 10 best-sellers, including the Crossland X in fifth place with 3334 sold and the Mokka X in 10 place with 3126 sold.
“The Scottish market is of great importance to Vauxhall,” Stephen Norman, Vauxhall’s Group managing director, said. “We are delighted to be Scotland’s biggest-selling car manufacturer for the 11th year running. Long may it continue."
In 2019, Vauxhall will launch the new generation of the best-selling Corsa, a Grandland X PHEV and the successor to the successful British-built Vivaro as commercial vehicle and passenger car variants. Additional variants and equipment versions of the Combo will also be on sale, significantly renewing its commercial vehicle portfolio.
