Wales out-performed the rest of Britain and saw a near 10% rise in registrations of new cars in July.
Suzuki has pushed two models into the top ten in Wales last month and rising star MG even got into the list with the new ZS compact SUV.
Figures from the SMMT show the Ford Fiesta continues to dramatically lead the Welsh sales chart. But Suzuki Vitara took fourth spot and its stablemate Suzuki Swift was five places behind. The MG ZS completed the top ten and Welsh dealers registered 5,617 new cars in July compared to 5,123 last year. Thomas & Davies, Merthyr Tydfil are among the latest dealerships to sign up with MG Motor UK. The manufacturer is on track to have 120 UK outlets by 2020. Wales’ performance contrasted with a modest 1.25% growth for the UK as a whole. | Wales top ten:Fiesta 330 Polo 148 Kuga 128 Vitara 123 Focus 122 Picanto 122 Golf 116 Qashqai 106 Swift 102 MGZS 93 |
