Volkswagen passenger cars reaches 4 million mark deliveries within first three quarters for the first time

Setting a new record for its passenger car segment, Volkswagen has trumped up is performance by selling 4.21 million cars in the first three quarters itself. This is a 10.6 percent increase in the number of vehicles that Volkswagen sold in the same period last year. In the month of September, the brand registered an increase in sales by 4.3 percent with figures of 492,500 units being sold.

Though the company hasn’t managed to do very well in the western European markets, it’s hopeful that with the launch of its Golf the company will be able to make amends for its previous poor performance. This being said, the company has already received 15,000 advanced bookings for the Golf in the last few days.

The Asia Pacific region as also the American market saw considerable growth during this period. In the Russian markets growth was registered at 55.9 percent while in Central and Eastern Europe delivery statistics rose by 32.1 percent. However, in Western Europe and Germany sales fell by 6.2 percent and 0.6 percent respectively.
