- The Volkswagen group (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, MAN, Scania) recorded a drop in its global sales in 2020, like most carmakers, due to the coronavirus crisis. The German carmaker recorded a 15.2% drop in worldwide sales, to 9,305,400 vehicles (passenger cars + light, medium and heavy utility vehicles) against 10,975,300 units in 2019. Consequently, the Volkswagen group fell behind the Toyota group in 2020, as the Japanese carmaker has surpassed 9.5 million sales last year.
- The breakdown of Volkswagen group sales in 2020 are as follows: 5,328,000 Volkswagen (-15.1%), 1,692,800 Audi (-8.3%), 1,004,800 Skoda (-19.1%), 427 000 Seat (-25.6%), 272,200 Porsche (-3.1%), 371,700 Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (-24.4%), 118,100 MAN (-17.3%), 72,100 Scania (- 27.5%) and 18,700 Bentley - Lamborghini - Bugatti (-3.0%).
