2016 has undoubtedly been challenging for Volkswagen, but there’s good news coming from the automaker. North American deliveries for the Volkswagen brand are up 4% this April as compared to 2015.
| Deliveries | April 2015 | April 2016 | Change (%) |
| North America | 48,700 | 50,700 | +4.0 |
| Europe | 151,700 | 150,300 | -0.9 |
| Asia-Pacific | 236,600 | 229,200 | -3.1 |
| South America | 38,800 | 31,900 | -17.8 |
| Worldwide | 496,000 | 476,700 | -3.9 |
This is the first time this year that North American sales rose year over year, and it’s thanks in large part to Mexico. Despite that, sales in the USA still fell that month.
VAG sales are also up for the period of January to April. Worldwide, the group delivered 0.6% more vehicles in the first third of 2016 than they did in 2015.
| Deliveries | Jan.-Apr. 2015 | Jan.-Apr. 2016 | Change (%) |
| Europe | 1,379,200 | 1,426,600 | +3.4 |
| North America | 284,300 | 283,800 | -0.2 |
| South America | 200,400 | 149,600 | -25.4 |
| Asia-Pacific | 1,325,600 | 1,366,800 | +3.1 |
| Worldwide | 3,340,900 | 3,361,600 | +0.6 |
Once again sales rose in all, but the American markets. South America is still in the midsts of an economic recession, so sales of all cars are suffering.
In North America, meanwhile, April sales for the group, as for the brand, were up. VAG sold 3,800 more cars (+4.9%) this April than they did in 2015.
China still rules the roost, though, in terms of sales. VAG sales rose 4% between January and April, as the brand’s sales rose 4.4%, to 939,400.
Audi, Skoda, Porshce, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, and Scania lead the way in first-third sales for the group, with their sales rising between 4.7% and 6.8%.
