The New Year is here and so to is the much-anticipated 201 registration plate and new car buying period. With this in mind, we have decided to reflect on the best-selling new cars in Ireland in 2019.
The Toyota Corolla has claimed the top spot, boosted from a recent model relaunch and growing popularity of hybrid technology in Ireland. Hyundai’s popular Tucson SUV finished the year in second place, while the Nissan Qashqai was third. Rounding out the top five is the Volkswagen Tiguan and Skoda Octavia.
