More than half of diesel car sales in the UK are coming from premium brands, led by Land Rover, as volume brands continue to trim diesels in favour of electrification.
The four biggest premium brands – Audi, BMW, Land Rover and Mercedes-Benz – accounted for 56% of diesel car sales in the first half of 2023 in the UK, amid a continued decline in popularity of the fuel.
SMMT figures reveal that diesel sales fell 11% to 86,469 in the UK to the end of July, giving the fuel a record low 7.9%
