Monthly Wrap-Up With the summer months slipping away, we’re now looking towards the end of the year and beyond. With registrations still sitting on the low side compared to previous years, especially in the pick-up sector, the electric sector is on the rise. With fuel and oil prices yet again continuing to increase, the overall cost-saving attraction of electric LCVs for fleet operators, SMEs and individuals remains all the more prevalent. With the current economic situation, electric LCVs remain really good value for money, particularly in the used market and when considering running and servicing costs. When considering these factors in the future market, with a steady increase in buyer numbers and the ZEV Mandate review looming in the wings, the overall sentiment of the BEV market is that of steadiness and future growth. As mindsets shift and opinions altered, the continued improvement and development of BEV LCVs have made it more accessible for professional use cases to fall within their capabilities. Battery electric chassis products are still finding their feet, still battling with the compromise between payload and range, especially when conversions and full working loads come into question. The well-perceived Kia PV5 has added chassis products to its line-up, increasing the offering within this sector, but the requirement for a large chassis product that satisfies expectations remains. Generally, the electric LCV sector has remained stable, with very few negative movements other than within the chassis sector. CLICK HERE to read the full article.

Welcome to this month’s update, where we take stock of where the UK new and used car markets stand right now. We bring together the latest new car registration figures through to the end of August 2026 and set them alongside a summary on how the used market is holding up.

Registrations rose 13.7%, according to the latest data published today by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), as 94,236 new cars were registered.

Monthly Wrap-Up September is upon us and with it brings some updates, reviews and new additions. Whilst it has been light this month on new entrants into the future values product, the few we have seen have brought with them some interesting developments of existing products from OEMs. It is clear that the appetite for sport-styled vans is still strong, with the majority of new IDs this month attributed to such vehicles. It’s no secret that sporty-looking vans have always had a place within the market, with home-grown conversions and modifications all the way through to factory-fit specifications, it’s a sub-sector steeped in nostalgia and popularity amongst all generations. This month has seen Mercedes-Benz dip their toe back into the sector with the Vito Sport-X, combining modern innovation with iconic sport styling in a traditional diesel powertrain. On the other hand, Farizon have entered the sport-van arena with their SV Sport, offering a modern take to the sport van on their existing electric platform. With expansions to their sport van line-up from Citroen, Peugeot and Vauxhall, OEMs clearly are experiencing the demand from customers for these vans and listening. Reforecasting has seen a very mixed bag of movements, with the All Terrain Workhorse and Lifestyle SUVs in the spotlight for this month. The downward trajectory for Land Rover products continues, but that’s not always reflective of everything else within these sectors. Toyota Land Cruiser sees an increase, along with the Ineos Grenadier following performance trends, as well as the Isuzu D-Max.
