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, 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.
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 U.K., Austria, Switzerland, Israel and Denmark. In Germany, Seat's main market, the company grew by 16.3%, selling a total of 125,700 vehicles.
This is followed by a growth of 8.4% in the U.K. (at 65,100 total vehicles), 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, equating to 0% growth), and extended its leadership in a market which shrank 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.
