The SUV takeover

  • Data DfT and DVLA, VEH0160
  • Covers New cars, Great Britain
  • Updated the latest quarter

Twenty-five years of new cars, one bar a year, split by body style. Watch the pink lane take the road.

Lane by lane

DVLA doesn’t record body styles, so these are our own, model by model, with the likes of the C4 Picasso and Yaris Cross picked out from their hatchbacks. They cover most of new cars since 2001; the rest are “Not classified”.
