SAAB sets global sales record.... Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Saab returned a strong global sales performance last year, achieving growth of 5.4 percent compared to 2005 and setting best-ever volumes for both worldwide and European sales. Global sales increased to 133,167 cars, exceeding the previous record set in 2000. And for the second year running, Saab's European sales increased 11.1 percent establishing a new volume record for 88,859 vehicles for the region ahead of the previous benchmark set in 2005.
Saab 9-3 sales were up seven percent, while the refreshed Saab 9-5 range, including the popular Saab 9-5 FlexFuel "BioPower" model, was up by six percent.
Jan Ake Jonsson, Saab Automobile AB Managing Director said, "These strong results show that interest in the Saab brand has increased substantially. Exciting concept cars, such as the Saab Aero X and the Saab 9-3 BioPower Hybrid Convertible indicate the future direction of the brand. As we enter our 60th anniversary year in 2007, we look forward to building on our strong sales momentum."
