4. Volkswagen Golf – 2614 units
The Volkswagen Golf isn’t quite as popular as it once was, but it’s still a top pick for drivers on the hunt for a good all-round family hatchback or estate. In fact, it has been slowly creeping its way back up the charts.
The German stalwart has been kept fresh with a wide-reaching technology update, a design revamp, a more powerful GTI and a longer-range plug-in hybrid, so it could climb higher still.

5. Peugeot 3008 – 2567 units
Quite different-looking to the 10-year-old Peugeot 3008 your uncle has, right?
The new 3008’s skills aren’t just skin deep, either. It offers hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric powertrains, and the EV scores a 435-mile range, which is pretty impressive for the price.
Peugeot’s range of appealing finance offers, as well as the popular Motability scheme, also contribute to the crossover’s strong placing here.

6. Peugeot 2008 – 2478 units
Close call between the 3008 (above) and the 2008 here – and Peugeot’s smaller crossover is another sales success broadly for the same reasons.
Like the 3008, it’s sharply styled and offers an electric powertrain – albeit one that offers only a 251-mile range.

7. Ford Puma – 2332 units
The best-selling car of 2024 has slipped down the rankings considerably. Which is a shame, as it’s engaging to drive and attractively priced, plus it offers the option of a hot Puma ST variant.
