The Volkswagen Group sold 8.98 million vehicles in 2025
- The Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Cupra , Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, MAN, Scania) sold 8.98 million vehicles (passenger cars and light utility vehicles) worldwide in 2025, compared to 9.03 million in 2024, representing a decrease of 0.5%. However, despite this (modest) sales decline, the number of BEVs sold increased by 32% to 985,000 units, and that of PHEVs by 58% to 428,000 units. BEVs thus accounted for 11% of the group's global sales, and PHEVs for 5%.
- According to Inovev, the decline in VW Group sales worldwide in 2025 is primarily due to US tariffs on European vehicle imports (VW sales in the US fell by 12.4% in 2025) and also to increasing competition from Chinese carmakers in China (VW sales in China fell by 6.1% in 2025). Fortunately, the growth in VW Group sales in Europe (+4.5%) and South America (+11.5%) helped offset a large portion of these losses.
- By brand, VW Group sales break down as follows: 4,730,000 Volkswagens, 1,623,551 Audis, 1,043,900 Skodas, 586,300 Seat- Cupras, 393,700 Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, and 279,449 Porsches. The remainder is divided between Bentley, Lamborghini and the MAN and Scania heavy goods vehicles grouped in the Traton division.
- Among all these brands, only Skoda and Seat-Cupra are expected to see their sales increase in 2025 compared to 2024, by 12.7% for Skoda (mainly thanks to the Elroq) and by 5.1% for Seat-Cupra (mainly thanks to Cupra).
- The VW Group remains the world's second largest carmaker, equidistant between Toyota and Hyundai-Kia.
