    Figures released by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), reveal that nearly 2.7 million new cars were registered in 2016 in the UK, beating record-high sales of 2015 by 2.3%. But which cars are the most popular among Brits?

    Top 10 best-selling automobiles in the UK:

    1. Ford Fiesta
    The Ford Fiesta has been Britain’s favourite car for decades. It has dominated the list of best-selling cars more than any other model. 120,525 Ford Fiestas were registered in 2016.

    2. Vauxhall Corsa
    In 2016, more than 77,000 Vauxhall Corsas were registered in the UK. Everyone in Britain loves the Corsa, regardless of age, profession, or budget.

    3. Ford Focus
    The Ford Focus has always sold well in Britain since it was launched in 1998. In 2016, the number of registered Ford Focuses was 70,545.

    4. Volkswagen Golf
    Despite the Volkswagen’s scandal in 2015, its sales have not been hit very much in the UK. About 69,500 VW Golfs were registered in 2016.

    5. Nissan Qashqai
    The Nissan Qashqai is the only crossover in the top 10. The number of registered Nissan Qashqais in 2016 was almost 62,700.

    6. Vauxhall Astra

    The VW Polo is followed by the Mini, with 48,328 registrations. The MINI hatch is one of the most popular small cars in the UK.


    9. Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    You might think that it’s unusual for a premium car to appear in the top 10. However, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class comes ninth on the list, with 44,184 registrations in 2016.

    10. Audi A3
    The Audi A3 ends the best selling cars top 10 in 2016. Totally 43,803 Audi A3s were registered in the UK.

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
