Volvo celebrates sets sales benchmark

Volvo Car UK has achieved its best ever first-quarter sales result, selling 16,204 cars in the first three months of the year.

This represents a 39% increase on the Q1 figures in 2018. These figures confirm Volvo as the country’s fastest-growing premium brand, with a 2.31% share of the market, itself a 35% increase on the same period last year.

In the UK, the top performer during the first quarter of the year was the XC40 compact SUV.

Jon Wakefield, Volvo Car UK managing director, said, ‘This is a fantastic start to the year for us, further demonstrating how our global strategy is producing vehicles that have wide-ranging appeal to customers. In a relatively short time, we renewed our product range with models that have instantly become the benchmarks against which the competition is being judged, giving us a strong position in a very competitive market. The challenge now is to sustain our performance, something that further new models and derivatives will help us achieve in the months ahead.’
