Niall Phillips, Brand Director at SEAT and CUPRA Ireland commentedSetting a new sales record proves SEAT and CUPRA continue to go from strength to strength here in Ireland. In what has been a difficult year for the global motor industry, we have managed to increase market share and record a near 50% year-on-year increase in sales. These figures show that our strongest ever vehicle line-ups are perfectly in tune with the needs of Irish buyers. The industry continues to face challenges but SEAT and CUPRA have demonstrated they are in great shape and continue to be at the forefront of buyer’s minds when it comes to selecting a new car.”
