Seat has reported a new sales record in July. This comes after it achieved its highest sales volume in the first six months of the year.
Its global deliveries went up by 4.7% in July compared to the same month in 2018, with a total of 55,200 vehicles sold. This exceeds the record level set in 2018.
In the year to date, Seat has sold a record 369,500 vehicles, which is 7.8% more than from January to July 2018, and the best result ever posted.
Furthermore, CUPRA* brand deliveries went up significantly since the beginning of the year. From January to July 2019, the new brand sold 15,100 cars, which is 70.9% more than in the same period the previous year.
Seat vice president for sales and marketing and CUPRA CEO Wayne Griffiths said, ‘The increase in sales places Seat again this year as one of the fastest growing brands in Europe. Our results go against the trend in the sector. We are sharply increasing our market share, making us the leader in the Spanish market and one of the most widely sold brands in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal and Mexico. Furthermore, CUPRA is attracting new customers thanks to the success of the CUPRA Ateca and the very good performance of the current Leon CUPRA.’
