Led by the latest generation XC90, Volvo’s popularity in the States has piled up to 7,682 deliveries in August, up almost 31 percent over the same month last year.
The full-sized SUV has been chosen by 2,859 consumers, while another 1,847 went for the smaller XC60 and 1,109 preferred the S60 in favor of other models made by the competition. The all-new S90 sedan has started to arrive in dealerships across the nation with a total of 194 examples sold last month.
“In addition to strong XC90 sales, we are now seeing the first S90 sedans starting to arrive to our dealerships. Today also marks the start of our national advertising campaign for S90, ‘Song of the Open Road‘, which will continue the momentum on our transformation journey“, said Volvo Car USA President and CEO, Lex Kerssemakers.
The year-to-date sales of the Swedish brand in the US have increased by 29.5 percent to 52,892 units, with the XC90 leading the pack at 21,760 units, followed by the XC60, which totaled 12,770 units.
