Saab Automobile raised its global sales in October by almost 45 per cent, compared to the same month last year. Total sales for the first ten months are now more than 10 per cent up.
Last month, Saab sold a total of 10,995 cars throughout the world, 3,381 more than in October last year. Saab has now sold 110,907 cars for the first ten months, just over 10,400 more than in the same period last year.
In the Swedish market, 3,109 Saab cars were sold in October, an increase of more than 30 per cent, or 768 cars.
Saab’s US sales continue to rise as a result of the successful launch of the Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan. Year-to-date, sales are now exceeding 40,000 cars for the first time in 16 years, with 40,800 cars sold representing an increase of 26 % compared with the same period last year. During October, 3,349 Saab cars were sold in the USA, an increase of 1,511 units.
“We are looking forward to a new sales record now that we have also introduced the new 9-3 Convertible”, says Debra Kelly-Ennis, CEO for Saab Cars USA.
Hans Karlander, head of Sales Management at Saab Automobile, comments: “We are increasing sales in nearly all markets compared to last year. October’s sales results in Sweden and the USA are very positive and sales in Europe are wholly in line with our internal forecasts.”
