Worldwide sales for the Volkswagen Group and the Volkswagen Brand are both up in November, meaning that despite dieselgate 2016 has been another year of sales growth for the automaker and should continue to be through December.
“We are headed for a good delivery result at the end of the year in spite of all the challenges,” says Fred Kappler, head of Group sales.
Sales for the VW brand were significantly up in America for the first time since before the scandal broke. The Group fared well, too, with a bump of more 16% over last November. Despite that, year-to-date sales for the Group are still down 0.2% in North America as compared to last year.
Europe, meanwhile, once again proved its appetite for VWs, with another positive sales month and year. Western European sales rose nearly 6% in November, while central European sales rose nearly 10%. As a result, year-to-date sales for all of Europe are up 3.5%.
China again showed its size. The VW Group sold more cars in China in November than they did in all of Europe. That’s due to a 13% jump in sales.
South America is still, unfortunately, performing poorly, though. Sales dropped another 12% in the market this month and are down more than 26% for the year-to-date.
Ultimately, though, the news is good for the brand, whose sales are up 8% globally this month and up 3% this year. Not only that, but all brands (except Scania) grew this month, too, which should help bolster confidence in VW in the coming year.
