SEAT has landed in the Geneva Motor Show in top form.

This figure is higher than the volume recorded in 2000 (80.000). SEAT’s February sales continued the solid growth with a figure of 44,500 vehicles, which is 11.4% more than in the same month in 2018 (39,900). This result represents a new record for the company and exceeds the volume registered in 2000 (43.300).
CUPRA* sales are also making strong progress, with triple digit growth. In the first two months of 2019, #cupra delivered 3,600 cars, which is 101.4% more than in the same period last year (*note: result integrated in SEAT’s total sales figure).
SEAT Vice-president for Sales and Marketing and #cupra CEO Wayne Griffiths pointed out that “starting tomorrow we’re going to display the company’s future at the Geneva Motor Show through concept cars such as the #Seat el-Born and the #cupra Formentor, which will be included in our model lineup. We’re still working on the future with the satisfaction of achieving excellent results in the present and breaking records month after month.”
