Common questions

The headline on this page counts new Hatchback registrations for the selected period, across all makes and fuel types. It counts new registrations, not the Hatchback cars already on the road.

The electric share beside the headline gives the share of Hatchback registrations that are electric, and the By fuel type section splits Hatchback registrations across every fuel type in the period.

The Hatchback by make table ranks the leading makes by Hatchback registrations in the period, with each make's share and its change against the same period a year earlier.

It depends on the car, not its body type. Vehicle type does not determine COE category; engine capacity and power output do. Category A covers cars up to 1,600cc and 130bhp, or electric cars up to 110kW. Category B covers cars above 1,600cc or 130bhp, or electric cars above 110kW.
