Munich. Sales of #bmw Group vehicles achieved a new record for November with total sales of 209,743 units, an increase of 6.2% on the same month last year. This result brings the year-to-date sales total to 2,152,393, an increase of 5.8% compared with the same period last year.

 

“We have achieved yet another month of solid growth across all the #bmw Group’s premium brands,” said Dr Ian Robertson, Member of the #bmw AG Board of Management with responsibility for Sales and Marketing #bmw. “We have grown our sales every month since November 2011 – five years of continuously increasing sales, in line with the expansion of our model range. The addition of our electrified vehicles has made a significant contribution to that growth and that segment is growing month for month,” he added.

 

To the end of November, 1,824,490 BMW brand vehicles were sold around the world, 5.6% more than in the same period last year. In November, a total of 177,740 #bmw brand vehicles were delivered to customers, an increase of 5.9% year-on-year. The global trend towards SUVs continues to be reflected in strong sales growth within the #bmw X family. November sales of the #bmw X1 are up 74.4% (22,595) compared with the same month last year, while monthly sales of the #bmw X5 increased by 17.6% (15,143). Sales of #bmw X vehicles in the first eleven months of the year total 579,718, an increase of 22.4% on the same period last year. Meanwhile sales of the #bmw 7 Series continue to develop strongly with November sales up 70.3% (6,883) compared with last year; a total of 54,306 models of the #bmw brand’s luxury flagship vehicle have been sold in the year-to-date (+67.6%)

 

In the first eleven months of the year, 54,857 electrified #bmw vehicles were delivered to customers worldwide. November was a particularly strong month for these innovative models with, for example, more than one in three BMWs sold in the Netherlands having an electrified drivetrain, while the #bmw i3 was Norway’s top-selling car across all manufacturers and models. “It’s clear that those markets which actively support electro-mobility are seeing the fastest growth when it comes to alternative-drive vehicles,” commented Dr Ian Robertson. “The addition of the #bmw 5 Series and #mini Countryman plug-in hybrid versions in the first half of 2017 is set to increase sales of #bmw Group electrified models significantly next year – we have set ourselves the ambitious target of 100,000 units,” he continued.

 

Sales of MINI brand vehicles increased by 7.9% in November with a total of 31,593 delivered to customers worldwide. In the year-to-date, a total of 324,417 MINIs were sold, an increase of 7.4% on the previous year. The premium brand’s two most recent models continue to be the biggest growth drivers. A total of 6,624 customers took delivery of a #mini Clubman in November, with year-to-date sales totalling 55,844 units worldwide. November sales of the #mini Convertible totalled 2,072 with year-to-date sales standing at 27,206.

Year-to-date sales in the region are up 10.0%, with a total of 992,580 vehicles delivered.
