Seat sales rose two per cent in August compared to the same month last year.
The effect of the WLTP procedure, which led to a sharp rise in registrations in Europe in August of 2018 and a decrease in the same month this year, did not hamper a new monthly record for Seat.
In August, company deliveries amounted to 42,100 cars, which is two per cent more than in the same month last year (41,200) and 41.6% higher than the figure recorded in August 2017 (29,700).
The brand’s 2019 year-to-date figure amounts to 411,600 vehicles delivered, 7.2% higher than last year. With this result, the car maker broke the record posted in the same period in 2018.
Meanwhile, CUPRA sales also continued their upward trend and rose by 70.6% from January to August to a total of 17,100 vehicles.
Seat vice president for sales and marketing and CUPRA CEO Wayne Griffiths said, ‘The August result continues the performance we have been setting in Europe in 2019: despite a difficult environment, we are increasing sales and gaining market share month after month. We trust our results will continue to improve and we will sustain this growth in the remainder of the year.’
