With more than 920,000 Volkswagen Group vehicles sold in the month of June, the total for the year so far rises to 5.2 million vehicles after the first six months of 2017.
June sales were 4.2% higher this year than they were in 2016, helping the Group outperform its year-to-date figure by 0.8%.
“June was a very strong month for the Group and all brands improved deliveries compared with the previous year,” said Fred Kappler, Head of Group Sales. “Stable growth in core regions gives us reason to look forward with confidence to the second half of the year.”
All of the Group’s major brands helped with the rising sales in June. The Volkswagen brand’s sales were notably up 4%, while Audi, too, is on a path to recovery from its difficult year in China with 1% more sales this June than last.
SEAT had an explosive June and year-to-date with sales up 12.6% and 13.7%. Porsche, too, had a double digit sales increase in June (10.8%), while MAN, SKODA, and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles also performed well (7%, 6.5%, and 3%).
South America and Central Europe were the top growth sites for the Group in June, with sales of 21% and 13%, respectively. Again, though, most regions showed solid growth, with the notable exception of Germany, where sales fell 2%. The rest of Europe had sales growth of 3%, though.
