Overall, UK new car registrations March YTD 2019 are down 2.4%, but Citroën is bucking the trend with a growth of 16.8%.
Citroën UK’s sales director, Eurig Druce, said, ‘Citroën is very much bucking the trend, growing our car sales by 16.8% during the first quarter of 2019. This growth is testimony to our fantastic product range, our strategic direction to build a sustainable business model and of course down to the huge efforts of the Citroën team within our Dealer partners’ and central teams.’
