We are at the beginning of the year and car brands are already providing us with delivery data from the previous year at a global level. From the Volkswagen brand they presume to have increased its sales by 6,7% in 2023 compared to 2022.
It is a positive fact, it is true, but also We expected something more from the German brand. We say this because 2022 was an extremely complicated year due to the semiconductor crisis, which significantly affected European brands and not so much Asian brands. But leaving that aside, let's take a look at a look at the main data.
4,87 million cars delivered by Volkswagen, electric cars do not even reach 10%
The mark of “the people's car” says to have made around 4,87 million deliveries during last year, surpassing the figures from the previous year in all regions. As we mentioned previously, total growth has been 6,7% for Volkswagen.
In this era of electrification of mobility and the famous ecological transition, as it could not be otherwise, Volkswagen also shows its chest. They claim in their press release to have delivered 394.000 fully electric cars in 2023, increasing the number by 21,1% compared to the previous year. Curiously, the market that demanded the most electric vehicles from Volkswagen was China, followed by Germany and the United States.
SUVs in general and the T-Roc in particular, sweeping
Meanwhile, as far as the overall range is concerned, el Volkswagen T-Roc has once again been the brand's best-selling SUV in Europe. Despite all this, SUVs remain unstoppable in the VW brand, representing 54,2% of total deliveries globally. The case of the USA stands out, where 81% of deliveries were SUVs.
Finally, and focusing on the Spanish market, Volkswagen has improved its sales by 8,5%, selling a total of 63.871 units. In Spain, the company's best-selling car is also the T-Cross, with more than 17.000 units delivered.
