Vauxhall Corsa Tops SMMT Charts as Britain’s Best Supermini
The Vauxhall Corsa has done it again—officially crowned the UK’s best-selling supermini for March 2025 and year-to-date, according to the latest vehicle registration figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).
In March 2025 alone, 6,851 Vauxhall Corsa found new homes across the UK, securing its position as the top-performing supermini so far this year with a total of 11,476 units sold year-to-date.
Vauxhall’s stronghold in the B-segment continues, thanks not only to the Corsa’s consistent popularity but also the success of the stylish Vauxhall Mokka. Together, the two models have achieved an impressive 18,829 registrations in 2025 so far.
Meanwhile, the Corsa Electric is holding its ground as the second most popular electric supermini of the year, highlighting the growing appetite for affordable, accessible EVs in the UK.
The ever-popular Corsa continues to win over British drivers with its smart design, cutting-edge tech, and wallet-friendly running costs. Not only is it the top choice in the supermini class, but it’s also the third best-selling car overall in the UK for the year—proof that the Corsa isn’t just holding its own; it’s leading the pack.
Built for British Roads—and Drivers
From tight city streets to country lanes, the Corsa is a supermini that feels at home anywhere. Available with petrol, hybrid and 100% electric powertrains, it gives drivers the freedom to choose the version that suits their lifestyle.
Whether it's first-time buyers looking for a reliable runaround or fleets in need of a practical, cost-effective choice, the Corsa ticks all the right boxes. And it's not just about sales—owners consistently praise its low emissions, comfort, and tech features, including the slick infotainment system and advanced driver assistance features.
Electric on the Rise
The Corsa’s electric variant continues to turn heads. As more UK drivers make the switch to electric vehicles, the Corsa Electric stands out as an affordable and accessible option. With a range of up to 266 miles (WLTP) and fast-charging capabilities, it makes EV ownership easy and hassle-free.
Recent SMMT data shows that electric car registrations in 2025 year to date made a percentage change of 42.6% from 2024 to 2025 for Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV)—a record high. The Corsa Electric’s strong showing in this category highlights Vauxhall’s commitment to a greener, cleaner future.
A Word from the Top
Angela Moiseeva, Director at Advance Vauxhall, shared her thoughts on the Corsa’s continued success:
“The Corsa has long been a British favourite, and this result proves its appeal hasn’t faded. We’re incredibly proud that it continues to top the supermini charts and drive our transition to electric.”
She also reaffirmed Vauxhall’s ambition to go electric-only by 2028, making it one of the first UK brands to commit to a fully zero-emissions line-up.
