SEAT concluded the first half of the year with the brand’s highest ever sales result. In the first six months of 2018, the carmaker’s global deliveries went up by 17.6% to reach a total volume of 289,900 vehicles (2017: 246,500). This figure represents an increase of more than 43,000 cars compared to the same period in 2017 and breaks the record set in 2000 (278,500). In June, SEAT again sold more than 50,000 vehicles in one month (51,400), which is 13.7% more than in the same period in 2017 (45,200). This figure is also indicative of the best month of June in the history of SEAT and exceeds the number posted in 2000 (48,900 units).
The SUV sensation is continuing full steam ahead. Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) are taking up a larger share of the market year after year. In 2021 they accounted for 46% of car registrations in Europe, 5 percentage points more than the previous year. A clear example of this growth evolution is SEAT’s SUV range. In 2022 it topped the one million mark in terms of sales of its three models just six years after the launch of its first one. Last year, the Arona, Ateca and Tarraco already accounted for 49% of the brand’s global sales, with 192,100 units. Design, versatility and sporty driving play an essential role amongst the reasons for their popularity.
We’re living through a global disruption. The fight against climate change calls for a new paradigm, and this involves facing major challenges like the transformation towards sustainable mobility. There is no plan B, the future is electric and that’s why throughout this year, each of the more than 15,000 employees at SEAT S.A. has been driven by the same impulse, to put their foot down on the electrification accelerator, and thus, to put Spain on electric wheels. Below are the key areas the SEAT S.A. team has been working on.
Jaguar returned to electrify the iconic Monte Carlo rally stage, 63 years after winning in 1956. Panasonic Jaguar Racing driver, Mitch Evans, took to the hills of Southern France ahead of this Saturday’s ABB FIA Formula E-Prix in Monaco, France. Older brother Simon Evans was piloting a racing version of Jaguar's first all-electric road car, the Jaguar I-PACE, recently crowned World Car of the Year. Simon competes in the Jaguar I-PACE eTROPHY, the official support series of the ABB FIA Formula E championship.
I-PACE is the first model ever to win three World Car titles in the 15-year history of the awards.This latest win for the I-PACE, awarded at the New York International Auto Show by a panel of 86 motoring journalists from 24 countries, comes just weeks after it claimed the European Car of Year title, and affirms its status as the most desirable premium electric vehicle (EV) in the world. Designed and developed in the UK, I-PACE is attracting new customers to the Jaguar brand, for many of whom it will also be their first EV – to date, over 11,000 customers in more than 60 countries worldwide have taken delivery. Its combination of sports car performance, zero emissions, exceptional refinement and true SUV practicality make I-PACE the stand-out choice in its segment.
