SEAT Ireland has begun the year with a phenomenal increase in sales, putting the brand in a tremendous position as it looks forward to an exciting and busy 2017 introducing a range of new models to the market.
Overall SEAT registered close to 1,000 units (985) in January 2017 signifying an 18% increase in sales year on year.
The iconic SEAT Ibiza continues to be extremely popular with drivers, as its sales increased by 8% compared with January 2016. Meanwhile, the ever-popular SEAT Leon was another strong performer, soaring by 12.5% in sales year on year.
January has also seen the new SEAT Ateca take centre stage at our dealers with the new SUV accounting for 30% of the overall sales.
Niall Phillips, Brand Director at SEAT Ireland commented, “It’s fantastic to see such a great start to the year for SEAT and these results are testament to the hard work of our team at SEAT, our excellent and expanding dealer network and our consistent commitment to offering high quality products at affordable prices. This now puts us in an excellent position as we embark upon a busy and exciting 2017 within which we will introduce three new products to the Irish market.
