10. Toyota Yaris - 27,415

Decembers sales figures have secured the Toyota Yaris a spot in the top 10, knocking the BMW 3 Series and the Ford Fiesta from the list.  It is likely the Toyota GR Yaris has made the Yaris a more appealing car.

9. Kia Sportage - 27,611

The Sportage is a great family SUV and comes with lots of kit as standard. 

Unfortunately for Kia the new Sportage hasn’t helped them overtake the Nissan Qashqai to end 2021.

8. Ford Puma - 28,697

The revival of the Puma as an SUV Crossover was a controversial decision by Ford, but it seems to have paid off. The Ford Puma has a range of innovative features designed to improve your driving pleasure and is very practical.

6. Volkswagen Golf - 30,240

It’s likely the Golf lack of electric option, thanks to the Volkswagen ID.3 is why it’s taking 6th place.

The Volkswagen Golf hasn’t acclaimed iconic status for any old reason, it’s refined, spacious, has an excellent cabin quality and comes in a range of great engines.

5. Volkswagen Polo - 30,634

The Polo has risen above its bigger sibling the Golf for the first time in years.
