Volvo Car Canada Ltd. Reports August Sales Results
Volvo Car Canada Ltd. is pleased to report a strong August sales result: a total of 1,100 vehicles were retailed throughout the month, representing an increase of 5.6 percent compared to the same period last year.
Year-to-date, the company continues to exceed last year’s results, and has delivered a total of 7,346 units, for an increase of 42.9 percent.
August marked the 14th consecutive month of year-over-year growth for the Volvo brand in Canada, and its best August on record.

Year-to-date, 2,339 Certified by Volvo units have been delivered, representing a year-over-year increase of 20.6 percent. The division was also recognized in the Vincentric Best CPO Value in Canada Awards, with the XC40 being named the Luxury Compact SUV/Crossover segment winner.
“Volvo Car Canada’s August sales reflect the continued demand for our exciting lineup of plug-in hybrid and pure electric SUVs.” said Matt Girgis, managing director of Volvo Car Canada Ltd. “With a wide variety of powertrains, and a new online purchase experience, there’s never been a more exciting time to get into a Volvo. We look forward to continued success throughout the end of the third quarter and well into the winter months ahead.”
