Most popular brands – November 2018

Top 20 most searched-for new car reviews by brand on whatcar.com
It has been another poor month for Audi in terms of sales, but it’s once again the most searched-for marque on whatcar.com. German brands take the top four slots, in fact, while winning a 29.5% share of the UK market too.
Land Rover is the fifth most searched-for brand, with premium marques taking six of the top 10 spots, Jaguar included in ninth. Jaguar is only the 20th best in sales terms, but the big difference between its search and sales rankings suggests its market share should increase.
UK market leader Volkswagen is the highest-placed volume brand in third, while Ford (the second best seller in November) is sixth, followed by Seat and Skoda.
