SEAT set for record-breaking year
SEAT is on course for a record-breaking year in both the UK and globally, having already surpassed 2018 full-year results during November.
SEAT sold 5,462 vehicles in the UK during November 2019, a 2.5 per cent increase over the same period 12 months previous. This was achieved in a market that declined by 1.7 per cent.
Richard Harrison, SEAT UK director, said: “In challenging market conditions, it’s great to see SEAT continues to outpace the market. We’ve already surpassed our 2018 full-year record sales in the first 11 months, achieving an overall 8.5 per cent uplift in deliveries thanks, in part, to our multi-award-winning SUV line-up which was enhanced earlier this year with the launch of Tarraco seven-seat family SUV.”
Globally, SEAT posted record sales of 44,100 vehicles for the month of November, a 1.9 per cent increase over the same month in 2018. Year–to-date, 542,800 vehicles have been delivered, a 10.3 per cent increase over the same 11-month period the year before. This figure exceeds the company’s 2018 full-year results which was the previous record.
CUPRA deliveries made a decisive contribution to these results, from January to November grew by 74.0 per cent year-on-year. To date, CUPRA has sold 22,800 cars around the world.
