The “75 plate” is the new vehicle registration series that launches in September 2025. In the UK, vehicle registration plates are updated twice a year. The “new” plate is released in March (the 25 plate in 2025) and the “autumn” plate is released in September (the 75 plate).
The number on the plate shows the year and half-year the car was registered, so a 75 plate tells you the vehicle was registered in the second half of 2025.
Lots of drivers choose to wait for a new plate release because they find it exciting to have a new car with the latest features. A car with a new plate also generally holds its resale value for longer, and ensures you’re getting the newest models and updates.
The 75 plate launch has brought a mix of fresh designs and upgraded tech. Here are five of the standout new releases that are already capturing attention on UK roads.

Choosing the right car isn’t just about picking a model you like, it’s about finding one that fits your budget and lifestyle.
Consider how you’ll use your car day-to-day. For example, are you a city commuter who needs something easy to drive and park or a family driver who needs more space? Aligning your car with your lifestyle makes every journey more enjoyable and means you’ll get more use out of your car too.
Think about your future needs and how your next car fits into that. Your car is a big part of your life so choosing one that’s built with your future in mind helps protect your ownership experience for years to come.
Think about how much you’re willing to spend and consider costs like insurance, fuel or electricity, and maintenance.
