Volkswagen of America, Inc. Tuesday reported 28,827 units delivered in June.
Last month, Volkswagen began delivering the all-new, seventh-generation 2015 Golf GTI. The new Golf GTI had sales of the model to its best total sales since March 2006. The new 2015 Golf TSI and TDI Clean Diesel models will go on sale this August. In June, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety announced that the new, seventh-generation Golf and Golf GTI models, when equipped with optional forward collision warning, have earned the 2014 Top Safety Pick+ rating.
“Our core models, the Passat and Jetta, continue to show strong demand in the market, particularly for our TDI clean diesel powertrains, “ said Mark McNabb, chief operating officer, Volkswagen of America.
“With the launch of the much-anticipated 2015 Golf GTI, as well as the upcoming introduction of the all-new 2015 Golf TSI and even more fuel efficient diesel engines, we are confident Volkswagen will be back on the shopping list for more customers.”
The Chattanooga-built Passat totaled 7,222 units delivered for the month. In June the Passat TDI, the only clean diesel in the midsize sedan segment, delivered 2,316 clean diesels or 32.1 percent of total Passat sales. This marks the best year-to-date for Passat TDI Clean Diesel.
