For the first seven months of 2023, Volvo Cars reported global sales of 3,95,856 vehicles, up 18 per cent compared to the same period in the previous year.

These models accounted for 35 per cent of all Volvo cars sold globally during the month, with fully electric cars contributing 10 per cent to the total.
