4 VW Group models in the top 10 best-selling BEVs in the UK in the first 4 months of 2025
- The UK BEV market is expected to see an increasing trend in 2025 compared to 2024. In the first four months of 2025, there were 144,720 BEVs registered in this market, compared to 106,995 units in the first four months of 2024, representing an increase of 35%.
- Which carmaker has benefited most from this revival of the British BEV market? And which has benefited least?
- The carmaker that has benefited most from the revival of the British BEV market is undoubtedly the Volkswagen Group, which has gone from 17,174 sales in the first four months of 2024 to 34,495 units in the first four months of 2025, thus doubling its sales volume, its market share increasing from 15% to 24% in this BEV market. The Volkswagen Group thus places four models in the Top 10 (compared to two the previous year) and nine models in the Top 25 (compared to three the previous year). The top-of-the-range ID7 even reaches fourteenth place and the Porsche Macan seventeenth place.
- Renault and Ford double their BEV market share, but at a very low level (from 2% to 4% each). Chinese carmakers (16% of the BEV market), Stellantis (12%), BMW (12%), Hyundai-Kia (10%) have a stable market share.
- Other carmakers have lost market share, such as Japanese carmakers (which went from 13% to 4% of the BEV market), Tesla (which went from 12% to 9% of the BEV market) and Mercedes (which went from 7% to 5% of the BEV market).
- Based on these figures, it appears that a significant portion of the customer base has shifted from Japanese carmakers, Mercedes and Tesla, to Volkswagen.
