Volkswagen Group’s Seat\/Cupra duo reports total global car sales of 125,200 units during the first quarter of 2023 (up 37 percent year-over-year). It’s a positive sign of rebound, although the recent result is still way lower than a few years ago (over 151,000 in Q1 2019).<\/p>\n

All-electric car sales of the two Spanish brands amounted to 9,200 units, which is over four times more than a year ago (up 318 percent). BEV sales represented about 7.3 percent of the total volume, compared to just 2.4 percent a year ago.<\/p>\n

This outstanding growth rate is of course a result of a low base, but it seems that things are moving in the right direction since the launch of the Cupra Born (currently the only all-electric model in the\u00a0Seat<\/a>\/Cupra<\/a> lineup).<\/p>\n

Cupra Born sales of 9,200 units are not bad compared to its MEB-based cousin, the Volkswagen ID.3<\/a>, which noted 23,600 units in Q1. Both models are produced in the same plant in Zwickau, Germany).<\/p>\n

The sales data for previous years includes the Seat Mii Electric (Volkswagen e-up! counterpart), which is no longer available.<\/p>\n

For reference, in 2022, Seat\/Cupra electric car sales amounted to 31,400 units (up 140 percent year-over-year)<\/a>, which was 8.1 percent of the total volume.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the group does not report plug-in hybrid car sales, but we guess that it would be a substantial volume.<\/p>\n

Combined sales of the Volkswagen ID.3 and Cupra Born were 32,800, which suggests that this year well over 100,000 will be sold globally.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Cupra is introducing its second all-electric model, the Tavascan crossover\/SUV, which is an MEB-based cousin of the Volkswagen ID.5, Skoda Enyaq iV Coupe, and Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback. It will be produced in China, by Volkswagen Anhui joint venture (formerly known as JAC Volkswagen)<\/a> and exported to Europe in 2024.<\/p>\n

Time will tell how successful such an approach will be, as the other three cousins are produced locally in Germany or in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n
