Britain is renowned for its history of car manufacturing, having made claim to many successful car brands over the years. Although in recent years fewer cars are being produced in the UK, British-manufactured cars still rank highly among the international market. Here are the best British cars you can buy right now – and why they deserve your recognition (in alphabetical order):
Aston Martin DB11
Quality production, powerful engine, smoothly designed interior and exterior – the Aston Martin DB11 has it all. Incredibly quick but agile on the roads, this car is designed for those wanting a relatively small car, but don’t want to compromise on luxury and power.
Starting at £147,900, few will be sold at the lowest price, as customers tend to customise their cars with add-ons.
Bentley Continental GT
Built in Crewe, the Bentley Continental GT is quick, comfortable and sumptuous. Depending on which add-ons you choose, the interior can be more traditional or modernised with an extremely expensive revolving dash option. The steering is sharp and easily controlled, however the car is not efficient in its fuel usage – something you may want to take into consideration when spending £159,100 on the car.
Designed for the wealthy, this car does almost everything automatically and does not spare any expense in its design.
Jaguar XE
The first Jaguar on our list, this car was initially made to compete with the German competitors, and for many, the XE surpassed all expectations. The XE driving dynamics are superb, furthermore, the standard set-up is so good that you won’t have to pay extra to get an amazing experience driving this car.
Costing a little over £31,000, the Jaguar Solihull plant which manufactures this car produced a solid model, worthy of recognition.
Jaguar F-Pace
This car is something that should make you proud to be British, along with the brand that designed and manufactured it. Whilst the car is beautifully designed, it is also very practical, with hidden storage and space around the entire car. All round parking sensors and easy installation of car seats, this car is designed to speak to all kinds of customers and their needs or wants.
Add-ons are readily available, but obviously drive up the price considerably. Starting at £35,435, this car won’t disappoint.
Land Rover Discovery
Versatile, comfortable, and spacious – the Land Rover Discovery gives you the autonomy to tackle off road terrain but also allows you to glide smoothly along the motorway. Its elegant interior design is hugely roomy, also available with seven seats so is ideal for large families who like to travel. Designed in the midlands and manufactured in Solihull – this car is adaptable to any weather condition or landscape you may take it!
The damage to the bank would be just over £47,000 – rising fast with any extra features you may want to add.
Mini Hatchback
The Mini is an iconic British car brand and has been a staple in British culture since the 1960s. The Mini has built a reputation for being affordable, reliable, but also luxurious without totally breaking the bank. The Mini Hatchback is built in Cowley, Oxfordshire and is available in 3 door and 5 door designs. Both offer impressive driving dynamics and an expertly refined rear suspension which enhances the driving experience to make you feel well-planted on the road – giving you more control.
Coming in at just over £16,000, this car will give you all the essential features you need – which is why we feel it deserves a place one this list.
Nissan Qashqai
The Nissan Qashqai combines stunning visuals, advanced technological amenities, and efficiency to produce a fantastic driving experience. Often credited for its innovative design which started the trend of crossovers, this car is an all rounder – boasting a variety of luxury features and space that surpass the average car.
What is so special about this car is the price – costing anywhere between £19,995 – £29,525, this car gives you outstanding value for money. Proudly made in Sunderland, this car maintains British car manufacturing on an international scale.
Range Rover Sport
Luxury features and nimble steering (especially surprising for a large car), the Range Rover Sport is a great all rounder, although more comfortable on road than off. A huge amount of space in the boot, with an extremely plush cabin, this ride won’t disappoint even on the most bumpy of roads.
All Range Rover Sports are made in their Solihull plant and cost upwards of £62,790, but you won’t be disappointed with the quality of ride this car can provide!
Rolls-Royce Ghost
Rolls-Royce is renowned for its luxury cars and high prices, so it is no surprise the Rolls-Royce Ghost offers an extravagant amount of comfort and space, as well as many amenities. The model is made locally, in the Rolls-Royce Goodwood plant located in West Sussex. The Ghost is smaller and more manageable than the other models they offer, but does not cut corners on the performance or quality of the car.
The price reflects the quality and time spent on its production, as well as the brand name itself, therefore the Rolls-Royce Ghost is priced at over £226,000. This is for the standard model, as any add-ons you may desire will inflate the price considerably.
Toyota Auris Hybrid
A family car, spaciously built with a robust feel to the car. Although the design is quite frankly bland, the car itself is extremely reliable and environmentally friendly. As well as being made in Derbyshire, investing in this car would not only be supporting local business, but you would be receiving a quality car worth every penny.
They proudly offer the car for a bargain £16,000, which is cheap for the standard of quality you will be receiving.
