SEAT has broken its historic sales #record for the second year in a row. From January to November 2019, the Spanish carmaker delivered 542,800 cars worldwide, which is 10.3% more than in the same period the year before. With just one month left before the end of the year, #seat has already exceeded the result achieved throughout all of 2018, when it sold 517,600 vehicles and broke the previous #record set in 2000. In November, #seat also posted a new sales #record, after achieving a volume of 44,100 cars, 1.9% more than in November 2018. With this result, the company has exceeded its best ever November figure, which was set in 2018 (43,300 units sold). According to #seat Vice-president for Sales and Marketing and CUPRA CEO Wayne Griffiths, “achieving the highest sales volume in the close to 70 year history of #seat makes us proud of the work we have done in recent years, and especially in 2019. The challenging economic environment has not prevented us from obtaining our second #record in a row and post double digit growth. CUPRA* deliveries made a decisive contribution to these results, and from January to November grew by 74.0% compared to the same period in 2018. So far this year, CUPRA has already sold 22,800 cars.” The global sales #record was largely supported by the countries where #seat has already exceeded its best results in a full year, such as Germany, the UK, Austria, Switzerland, Israel and Denmark. In Germany, SEAT’s main market, the company grew by 16.3%, selling a total of 125,700 vehicles; followed by 8.4% in the UK (65,100); 6.1% in Austria (19,200); 20.5% in Switzerland (12,000); 2.2% in Israel (9,100) and 47.7% in Denmark (6,800).
In addition, #seat maintained its sales in Spain (103,300 vehicles delivered; 0%), and extended its leadership in a market which fell by close to 6%. Global deliveries also went up in key markets such as France and Italy, where #seat grew by more than 20% (34,500; +20.4%) and nearly 30% (24,500; +28.4%) respectively.
Furthermore, extremely positive results were also achieved in the Netherlands (10,800; +23.0%), Portugal (10,400; +13.3%), Sweden (8,200; +25.4%) and Ireland (4,100; +11.4%). In Mexico, SEAT’s largest market outside Europe, deliveries went up by 4.9%, for a total of 22,300 cars.
