Record December Sales Put Finishing Touches on Record Year
AJAX, ON – January 4, 2011
Volkswagen Canada has rung in the New Year with style,
posting its best-ever sales results for both the month and year. December’s total sales of 3,737
represented the company’s all-time best for the month. The yearly total of 45,388 eclipsed the
previous record; set in 2001, by over 2,000 units.
Leading the charge has been the tremendous performance of the all-new 2011 Jetta. In
December, a total of 2,150 found their way onto Canadian driveways, a figure 190% better than
last year’s result. The Jetta has been completely redesigned; and is larger than the previous
model, yet is more fuel efficient thanks to reduced weight and superior engineering.
Sales of the Golf continue to be strong, numbering 397 for the month. The Golf Wagon posted
sales of 287, and the Golf GTI reported 103. As a whole, the Golf Family sold at a rate 98%
better than the previous year.
Consumer support of Volkswagen's equipped with TDI Clean Diesel technology has shown
impressive strength, and these models now make up 29% of the total volume of all new
Volkswagen sales. This award-winning technology is now available on the new Jetta, Golf, and
the all-new Touareg sport utility. TDI Clean Diesel engines utilize cutting edge technology,
which results in high mileage and tremendous vehicle range. Environmental responsibility does
not take a back seat, nor does the same fun to drive feeling found on all Volkswagen's.
