Volvo Cars India has reported a significant growth of 33 per cent in its sales for the first half of 2023 in India. During the period from January to June, the company delivered 1,089 cars, a notable increase from the 818 units delivered in the same period last year.
The driving force behind this impressive growth can be attributed to the XC60, one of Volvo's most popular models, which experienced a substantial 35 per cent surge in deliveries. This particular model contributed to a total of 376 cars being delivered during the first half of the year.
Another notable highlight is the strong performance of the locally assembled all-electric XC40 Recharge, which garnered good demand. With a total of 289 units sold during this period, the XC40 Recharge accounted for 27 per cent of the overall sales volume. This success further demonstrates the growing demand for electric vehicles in the Indian market.
