Škoda Sales Up In November

Škoda Auto has posted bumper November sales in 2009, with UK demand up 45.3% year-on-year.

In total 2,511 Škodas found homes in the UK during the period.

The Fabia supermini continues to be the most popular model, closely followed by the recently revised Octavia.

The upturn in registrations wasn't confined to the UK however - Škoda's worldwide sales totalled 55,460 vehicles in November, representing an increase of 26% over the same period in 2008.

China alone accounted for over 11,000 of these sales, a huge 172.8% increase.

"With the recent introduction of the multi-award winning Yeti crossover and Superb Estate, Škoda has never been in a stronger position to continue to grow its market share than in 2010," a spokesman said.
