0:00 A countdown of the seven best-selling affordable cars in Britain that are outselling premium brands like BMW and Mercedes.
0:36 Kia Sportage
3:46 Jaecoo 7
7:21 Ford Puma
10:14 MG HS
12:47 Jaecoo 5
15:16 Vauxhall Corsa
18:22 Dacia Sandero

Could a £14,730 Dacia Sandero really outsell BMW and Mercedes? I count down seven affordable cars changing what British drivers buy, from the Kia Sportage and Jaecoo 7 to the cheapest new car in Britain.

I compare prices, sales figures, warranties, running costs and real-world strengths and weaknesses across the Ford Puma, MG HS, Jaecoo 5, Vauxhall Corsa and Dacia Sandero. I also look at why Chinese brands and budget-friendly models are gaining ground in the UK.

Using published registration figures, manufacturer information and independent trade evidence, I explain what you get for your money and whether paying extra for a premium badge still makes sense.
