Most popular colours for new cars revealed – with blue back in top three Blue has become one of the top three most popular colours for new cars for the first time since 2010.
SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: “While 2024 saw more new car buyers go green, with a record number of EVs reaching the road, the face of the market remains familiar, with grey and black proving perennially popular.
“While manufacturers strive to ensure every driver can have their pick of a vast choice of paint colours and personalisation options to suit their individual tastes, it seems UK car buyers’ preferences remain steadfastly monochrome.”.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said 291,928 new cars registered last year were blue.
Grey retained top spot with a market share of 27.8%, with black (21.7%) remaining at number two.
