Skoda Auto Volkswagen India (SAVWI) sales for the first six months of 2022, were up 200% YoY as the company clocked its highest-ever H1 sales in India, with 52,698 units sold between January and June 2022.
Notably, SAVWI had launched ten models during this period. Volkswagen recently delivered 150 Virtus sedans in a single day while Skoda recorded its highest ever sales in the month of June 2022.
With its new India 2.0 products, the company intends to penetrate deep into important market clusters covering both metro and non-metro centres, noted Piyush Arora, Managing Director, SAVWI.
Arora said, 'The growth in sales is supported by other important markers as well. We achieved 100% growth in production and 35% growth in exports during this period. While we are confident of maintaining this momentum, we continue to grapple with the challenges caused by the geopolitical instability, and continued semiconductor shortage which are upsetting the supply chain.”
The company plans to ramp up its customer touchpoints across the country to over 450 by the end of this year.
Christian Cahn von Seelen, Executive Director – Sales & Marketing, SAVWI, said, 'Right from the Skoda Slavia and the Volkswagen Virtus which have managed to revitalise the mid-sized sedan segment, to the Skoda Kodiaq face lift and Kushaq Monte Carlo, our products are attracting new customers into the Group.'
Seelen added, 'While, our high-end offerings like the new Audi Q7, Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae Roadster and Huracan Evo Fluo Capsule, Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition, 718 GTS 4.0 and 718 Cayman GT4 RS, have spiced up our luxury car portfolio. The growing demand for Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini models has helped us retain a significant share of the Indian luxury and performance car market.”
