The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders’ official statistics have reported that SEAT registered 5,628 new cars sales last month, securing a 1.53 percent market share.
This is up nearly 40 percent on the same month last year, and means the UK became SEAT’s largest export market last month overtaking traditionally big performers Germany, France and Italy in the process.
Just as expected, the Ibiza 5dr and Ibiza SC (2,728 cars), and revised Leon (1,986 cars) models are the ones that helped SEAT boost its sales. With sales up 37 percent over the same month last year, SEAT’s fleet performance continues to be on the right track, thanks to the Exeo saloon and practical Exeo ST estate models.
“The September success we’ve enjoyed is a testament to the hard work put in by each member of the SEAT UK Fleet and Business operation,” said SEAT UK Head of Fleet and Business Sales, Nick Andrews. “We’re a relatively new team, but I can see that with performances like this already under our belt we’re clearly moving in the right direction.”
The strong September sales surge was completed by SEAT UK’s Used Car operation, led by Used Car Manager David Ardern. September saw SEAT notch up another strong performance with used car stocks now running at record low levels.
“The most satisfying aspect of these impressive September numbers is that the success has come across the board,” said Head of SEAT UK, Peter Wyhinny. “With a strong contribution from our aftersales and parts business, too, it’s clear that SEAT is firing on all cylinders!”
