Grey still UK’s favourite new car colour despite record numbers switching to ‘greener’ vehicles
The most popular colour for the Nissan Qashqai in 2021 was…grey! 🤔

Well they're probably reckoning on all the various metallic silver colours as "grey" and manufacturers often have several of those available available so I'm not surprised.

Volkswagens also tend to come as standard in a really dull grey.

Tesla 3 comes in white as standard.

Ford Puma - three different "greys":

Mini - only two "greys":

Sportage - 40% of the extremely poor colour range is grey! - I'd go for the standard Bronze and save the money!:

Yaris - comes standard in white and has another white - and two greys:

My car's orange with a black roof!!! :) :) :) :) :)

Either that British racing green or island blue. Would not buy a new car in boring colours.

Well I had a Black Qashqai and thought it worked best considering the panoramic roof and the privacy glass - all nice and black!

My motorbike's entirely black too! Except the orange reflectors and the numberplate!
