Global sales have increased by 7.3 per cent during the first quarter of the year. The brand has delivered 93,400 vehicles, 6,300 more than the same period in 2013.
A 60.1 per cent increase in Leon sales boosted the overall figure. During the first three months of the year, 34,600 Leon models have been delivered – 13,000 more than in the first quarter of 2013 (21,600).
Dr Andreas Offermann, Vice-President for Sales and Marketing, said: “Germany, the UK and Eastern Europe are some of the markets making the biggest contribution to maintaining the high rate of deliveries. The launch of the new Leon ST has exceeded all expectations. It is already a key model in our range.”
