Seat sales worldwide continue their steady growth trend. The Spanish carmaker concluded the first semester of this year with 216,500 deliveries, which represents an 8.2 per cent increase over the same period in 2014. This figure is the best first half result since 2007 and it was achieved thanks to the performance of all the models.

Once again, the Leon spearheaded Seat’s results. Sales went up by 9.9 per cent to 86,300 vehicles, or 7,700 more than in the first half of 2014. The Leon ST estate led the way for sales and posted a 45.9 per cent increase. The ST already accounts for 35.7 per cent of the total volume of the Leon family. In addition, the Ibiza continued their upward trend, and at a 6.6 per cent increase, reached 84,500 vehicles, 5,400 more than in the first six months of 2014. The Alhambra also made firm strides and established itself as the third best-selling model in the range. With a rise of 14.6 per cent, sales in the first semester of the year stood at 13,100 units.
