January 2023 new car market recorded its sixth consecutive month of growth with 131,944 new cars registered a rise of 14.7%.

We look to a Budget that will reaffirm the commitment to net zero and provide measures that drive green growth for the sector and the nation.

Said Mike Hawes, SMMT Chief Executive.
