Earlier this year, we blogged about the Volvo Car Group’s excellent Q1 sales. Since then, things have only gotten better for the Volvo brand, and 2016 has become a year to remember – with three months still to go. If you’re itching for a fantastically-appointed, supremely safe luxury vehicle, test drive a 2016 Volvo XC60 near Silver Spring, MD today and join one of the world’s foremost automotive families.
When everything is clicking, it’s tough to choose one plus over another. How about the fact that Volvo Car Group September sales are up 6 percent, with the biggest boost coming from the Chinese market and its 27.8 percent spike. These increases helped the Volvo brand sell 48,259 Volvo vehicles worldwide in September alone, contributing to a yearly total of 379,329 vehicles – which in itself is a 9.6 percent improvement over last year’s total through the first three quarters. And on the subject of last year, we should also mention that September 2016 was the 16th consecutive month of growth for the Volvo Car Group, a streak that started last spring.
So which Volvo models are most responsible for this tremendous growth? Again, it’s tough singling out one or two, but if you go strictly by the numbers, the Volvo XC90 and the Volvo XC60 are the main contributors. The Volvo XC60 is the Volvo brand’s best-selling model worldwide, and the Volvo XC90 model’s sales were the top contributor to September month-over-month and 2016 year-over-year (YOY) growth. The Volvo XC60 was China’s top-selling model in September ’16, and in the United States, where YOY growth is up 26.2%, the Volvo XC60 and the Volvo XC90 were both big contributors.
