BMW: new record sales in August.
(CercleFinance.com) - BMW Group said it sold a record 169,913 BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce branded vehicles in August, up 2.
7% y-o-y, particularly thanks to increased demand for its electrified vehicles.
The Munich-based carmaker also posted a new high for the first eight months of the year, with a total of 1,571,467 vehicles delivered, up 4.2% relative to the same period last year.
"Our nine electrified vehicles continue to enjoy increasing success, with the two newest additions - the BMW 5 Series and the Mini Countryman plug-in hybrid variants - achieving strong sales," said Ian Robertson, BMW board member responsible for sales and marketing.
Still, the company said it continues to experience headwinds in several key markets, including the important UK market, and points out that the economic situation remains volatile in several markets.
"The ongoing downturn in the US automotive market is reflected in the BMW Group's figures for the Americas, which in the year to date are 3.7% below last year's level," BMW said.
