Volvo Car UK has announced its highest sales figures for a quarter of a century, reporting a six per cent increase last year on 2015 results.
It recorded sales of 46,696 cars, with the V40/V40 Cross Country the highest-selling model in the UK (16,491), followed by the XC60 (16,038) and the new XC90 (5,801).
This strong UK performance helped Volvo Cars achieve a third consecutive year of record sales, selling 534,332 cars globally.

We sold more than 46,600 cars in the UK for the first time in 25 years and increased our market share – and with another exciting year of new technologically advanced and stunning Volvos coming in 2017, we’re confident this positive momentum will continue.’
