Volkswagen’s Czech brand Skoda said a 14.3% year on year sales rise last month to 73,200 vehicles was the best ever result for August.
Western Europe sales grew 14.5%, China by 19.1% and Central Europe by 32.4%. European market share rose over 5% (5.1%) for the first time.
Sales and marketing head Werner Eichhorn said the “rejuvenated model range is appealing to new consumer groups” and the redesigned Fabia due out at the Paris show in October was “the next important step in the Skoda model campaign”.
