New car commentary | July 2024

The bright spot is a strong consumer move to low emission cars, which so far this year have accounted for almost half of all new car sales, up from around just one in ten in 2019.

“Overall, July marked another lacklustre month for the new car market, as the strong performance in fleet channels struggled to offset the ongoing retail decline.

“The bright spot is a strong consumer move to low emission cars, which so far this year have accounted for almost half of all new car sales, up from around just one in ten in 2019.

“Manufacturers are also working hard to tempt buyers with enticing offers, as shown by a 20% rise in new car advert views on our platform in July. That offers some optimism as we approach the key plate change month of September."
