Every March and September, the registration plate numbers change – giving customers a great opportunity to get a new car on the new plate.
With the 19 plate now in force, here are ten favourite cars to buy on the new registration…
Audi A1
Now in its second generation, the Audi A1 is the most premium option in Volkswagen Group’s supermini line-up. The five-door model can be fitted with the latest equipment from the German brand and is finished in a series of stylish colour packs. Prices start from £17,700.
BMW 3 Series
As one of the leading names in the executive saloon segment, it’s only right we include the new 3 Series. Available with two petrol engines and a diesel unit is offered with four-wheel drive, the 3er is also fitted with excellent levels of equipment. The 3 Series costs from £32,440.
Citroen C5 Aircross
As the largest SUV Citroen currently offers, the C5 Aircross incorporates the French brand’s latest ‘Advanced Comfort’ features, such as the well-cushioned seating and supple suspension. The quirky styling also sets it apart from the crowded SUV segment. Prices start from £23,225.
Hyundai KONA Electric
With the electric age of motoring well on the way, why not make a head-start with the practical KONA Electric crossover? Priced from £27,250 and with a range of up to 250 miles, the KONA Electric is well-placed to take the market by storm, thanks to excellent levels of equipment. Get in quick though, as Hyundai is running out of room to take orders.
Range Rover Evoque
Although it looks largely the same as before, the second-generation Evoque is really advanced and it comes with the latest range of efficient Ingenium engines. Starting from £31,600, the new Evoque is available with Land Rover’s newest infotainment solutions and assistance systems.
Mazda 3
The new version of the stylish hatch is arguably the best-looking yet, with Mazda hoping to stake a claim for the class lead. With a revamped design and new tech, this version of the 3 is well-placed to take the fight to Ford and its segment-conquering Focus. Prices start from £20,595.
Mercedes-Benz EQC
Here’s the latest premium electric SUV to come on the scene – the Mercedes EQC. Based on the same platform as the GLC, the EQC comes with a range around of 250 miles and upwards of 400bhp developed by its powertrain. Prices are expected to start around £56,000.
Peugeot 508 SW
As the more practical version of the stylish 508, the SW is even more jaw-dropping. It may not be the most spacious estate around, but it stands out from the crowd and is also really good to drive – making it a credible challenger. Prices for the 508 SW start from around £26,500.
Skoda Scala
The replacement for the Rapid is here and the Scala is based on Volkswagen Group’s MQB A0 platform – just like the Seat Ibiza and VW T-Roc. Priced from around £16,500, the Scala comes with lots of room, good looks and, as with most other Skodas, plenty of useful kit.
Volvo V60
The Swedish brand’s latest addition to its estate fleet has been introduced, and with it comes a range of smooth engines and a well-specced interior. The sharp looks only enhance the vehicle’s appeal and prices start from £32,410.
