UK car market: Land Rover climbs to the top, Renault has flat tyre

Updated

The UK car market is generally a pretty stable place – market shares tend to move by a fraction of a percent year by year.

Not this year – it's like a fireworks party, with some manufacturers shooting into the sky and others burning out and falling to earth. For example, Renault is down over 40% and was just a couple of hundred units ahead of Mini in the first quarter of this year. Land Rover is up by almost 20% and is now a mainstream player.
