The Swedish carmaker’s best selling model was the V50 Sportswagon with 1,625 units in September and 6,026 units for the YTD.
Diesel engines represented 67% of Volvo’s total sales for the YTD, a rise of 9.1%. This was despite the fact that Volvo’s diesel engines only became Euro IV compliant in mid-summer.
“The new car market in the UK is becoming particularly competitive, with sales down 5.2% so far this year, yet Volvo increased its market share to 1.6% during this period with only a two per cent dip in sales,” said a Volvo spokesperson.
