The Peugeot 3008 made it into the top five twice this month.
Thanks to SMMT, we can share with you the top 10 sales performers for each UK country in August. Keep in mind that this is a consolidated list by country, all sales figures are already included in the UK August 2024 update. Scotland (+7.3%) is the strongest performing country this month with +7.3% to 7,199 sales, followed by Wales with +5.5% to 3,014 and Northern Ireland with +4.6% to 3,466. England is the only country in negative territory with -2.5% to 70,627, but given its weight, it single-handedly pushes the UK market into negative territory. Since the start of the year, all countries have shown positive dynamics, with Northern Ireland showing the best performance with a figure of +9.5% to 34,580 units, ahead of Scotland with a figure of +6.4% to 107,164 units, Wales with a figure of +5.2% to 43,409 units and England with a figure of +4.8% to 1,051,508 units.
