"UK new car registrations out-performed expectations in March, the first month of the new 13-plate. The market increased more than 5% on March 2012 to almost 395,000 units," said SMMT Interim Chief Executive, Mike Baunton. "Despite ongoing economic concerns, consistent monthly growth in the market is an encouraging sign of returning consumer confidence as motorists are attracted to forecourts by new models and the latest technologies."
With a total of 22,748 registrations the Ford Fiesta was the UK best seller in March, this was followed by the Vauxhall Corsa with 16,169 registrations while the Ford Focus rounded off the top three with 15,434 registrations.
Mark Ovenden, Ford of Britain managing director, said: "The important March sales month, when the number plate change boosts registrations, has provided more positive news for the UK market and seen Ford's car and CV ranges continue their terrific 2013 sales record.
"Vigorous consumer demand is also driving up our share of more profitable retail sales thanks to our latest and most exciting range of vehicles and the UK's strongest dealer network. This range has been strengthened further this year with the launches of the new Ford Fiesta, the Ford Kuga and the headline-grabbing new Ford Fiesta ST."
