Seat has continued to have a successful year after it announced it year-on-year sales results were up by 18.7 per cent.
It had 40,400 sales last month, compared to 24,000 in the same period last year.
The strong monthly results are down to large growth in Seat’s main markets, with German sales up 25.6 per cent and Spanish figures up by 19.8 per cent. Other markets such as the UK (18.5 per cent), Turkey (58 per cent), Belgium (30 per cent), the Netherlands (29.5 per cent) and Poland (29.1 per cent) also performed well for Seat.
In fact, overall sales for the year are up 14.7 per cent at 435,500 units, which is already more than what Seat sold throughout all of 2016 at almost 409,000.
These impressive results mean that 2017 leads most of Seat’s yearly results, with overall figures for seven out of 12 countries at their highest level yet.
Seat vice-president of sales and marketing, Wayne Griffiths, said: “In November, we maintained our October growth performance. We are finalising a very positive final quarter, which translates into an unbeatable end-result for a year where we have become one the fastest growing brands in Europe.
“Surpassing the sales figure of all of 2016 when there is still a month left before concluding the year is an excellent achievement, and one we have accomplished thanks to the extension and renewal of the range, and the hard work carried out by the entire team and our dealer network.”
Seat also announced that the new Leon is up for the European Car of the Year 2018 award – a first for the brand – showing just how good a year it has had this year. The winner will announced at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
