Here are the UK's best-selling cars of 2025... so far

 Volvo XC40 - 22,941

"The XC40 is an upright and solid SUV rather than pretending too hard to be a car-like crossover. Volvo has made something nicely distinctive here. That's helped by the fact the values of an SUV correspond with many of the values of Volvo."

VW Tiguan - 23,519

"This is a mid-size SUV that aims to stay steadfastly sensible while all around it try to win your attention with obtuse design. And aside from its tough ride, there’s not a huge amount to truly criticise."

MG HS - 24,104

"The new HS represents a useful step forward; a car whose looks, powertrain and perception of quality have all improved."

Hyundai Tucson - 23,730

"Love the way it looks? Then the Tucson doesn’t put a foot wrong, driving decently and brimming with well-implemented tech. Always bought Hyundais for their sensibility, and not so sure on the styling? Then rest assured the only thing longer than the equipment list is the warranty."

VW Golf - 25,163

"There wasn’t a whole bunch wrong with the Mk7 Golf. And when the Mk8 arrived, we longed for the clarity of the old car’s infotainment. While the touchscreen still rules in the Mk8.5, the new system is undoubtedly an improvement. And the rest of the car is, sure enough, finely polished. Better steering, better refinement, better safety."
