Volkswagen Middle East Sales Up 23 Per Cent in 2008
DUBAI - Volkswagen Middle East wrapped up 2008 by setting a new record with regional deliveries exceeding 11,000 vehicles, marking a sales increase of 23 per cent compared to 2007.
This growth in sales demonstrates Volkswagen Middle East’s growing prominence in the automotive sector in this region, said Joerg Andrischock, Acting Managing Director of Volkswagen Middle East.
“Since the opening of the regional office in Dubai in 2005, we have witnessed a vast expansion year on year, with a marked sales increase of 89 per cent since 2005 and 2008 was no exception.”
The Touareg confirmed its special position as the most popular Volkswagen car in the Middle East, representing 28 percent of Volkswagen’s total sales for 2008. Following closely behind was the Jetta, which contributed to 22 per cent of total sales, and the Passat, which accounted for 21 per cent.
The Eos is another model that still captivates customers around the region and had the biggest growth increase of 44 per cent compared to 2007.
The regional launch of the new compact sports utility vehicle, the Tiguan, in May 2008 contributed to the significant increase in sales.
