Volvo hits all time sales high
Volvo are on a role sales wise, they have sold more than 600,000 vehicles in a year for the first time - 643000 in fact. XC60 sold almost 190K units, the S90 is now the highest selling Volvo salon of all time, which is impressive given how it has been on sale for 3 years!
https://www.media.volvocars.com/glob...ales-milestone Looks likely 2019 will be another record year as S60 and V60 sales will increase - the New V60 is already selling twice the number of the previous model and Volvo have now managed to double Xc40 production. The VOC discount for 2019 is also much more appealing, some amazing discounts on the 90 & 60 series vehicles.

The Volvo story is certainly impressive of recent years. I'm curious as to where the additional buyers are coming from. Whether from particular brands (Audi, BMW), or equally across all brands?
I guess much of the increased sales will be in China with European sales increases potentially being more modest? |

I fear that once the diesel and petrol only cars have gone and only the much more expensive hybrid cars are on offer sales may slow down, in the UK anyway, especially for the XC90 and no more subsidies available, unless prices are reduced.

I think everyone is hoping that hybrid and battery technology drops in price so overall its cost neutral - I'm fairly dubious this will happen, If there is an opportunity to increase prices then why wouldn't they assuming sales volumes hold up.

Thanks anotherv60, as anticipated China shows a significant growth and Europe not so much. The big surprise there is the US, which of course throws a few different marks in.
In the face of what I believe is a fall in overall car sales even a 6.4% growth must represent a significant number coming across from other brands. Having just gone through the process I concluded that like for like Volvo give a little more for the same money. However if growth continues I'd suggest this will narrow.

The US figures will have been helped by the opening last year of Volvo's new factory in South Carolina to make the S60.
It will also produce the new XC90 in 2021.

With my S90 I have come from a Seat Leon. Never looked at a Volvo as an option for a car until I hired a XC90 on holiday and was smitten. It was the comfort and technology that got me looking at the Volvo range.

I'm Coming from another Brand
Hi, at the moment I am trying to find out as much as I can about the new V60, with a view to purchase in the not too distant future.
The reason is, my daily ride is no longer available in the UK. ( Honda Accord 8th generation 2.2 idtec diesel EX Tourer [Estate]) Pete. |
