HYUNDAI XG Ultra-rare
As of 2026 Q1, 55 HYUNDAI XGs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 259 in 2014 Q3 — only 21% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 204 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 6 a year (11.1% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2032 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer. Tellingly, 60% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the HYUNDAI XG is rarer than 66% of the 2,429 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2026's endangered class.
