- Volvo Cars posted a fifteenth
consecutive month of retail sales growth in September, with China, Europe
and the United States all recording a sales increase compared to September 2013.
Volvo Cars’ largest market China reported September sales of 7,342 cars, up 28.4 per cent
versus September last year. The Volvo XC60 crossover was the best-selling model
followed closely by the S60L sedan.
In Sweden, Volvo Cars
sold 4,987 cars, up 6.1 per cent from the same month last year. Strong
demand for Volvo’s XC and V carlines continued to support the positive sales
performance in the company’s home market.
Volvo Cars continued its strong performance in Europe in September, where sales
rose 11.6 per cent versus September last year. Several key markets, including
the UK and Germany, showed solid multi-digit growth. The Volvo V40 remains the
best-selling model in Europe, helped by its strong and class-leading Drive-E
engines line-up.
The United States was Volvo Cars’ third-largest individual
market in August, reporting an 11.4 per cent increase year-on-year to 4,667
retail sold cars. The Volvo S60 and XC60 models were the best-selling models
during the month.
“I am pleased to see growth in all our major markets in
September, which further supports the positive sales momentum we have seen this
year,” says Alain Visser, Senior Vice
President Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at Volvo Cars. “We remain
solidly on track to realize an all-time high sales result in 2014.”
