Car Sales October 2019 Latest Videos

Car Sales October 2019 Latest News

  • The auto industry has been reeling through a difficult phase with sales hitting a two decade low over the past year. Carmakers, both mass market and premium have felt the pinch and while automakers did see a largely positive festive period in October this year, the overall slowdown does leave a lot to be desired. The feeling was echoed by Martin Schwenk, Mercedes-Benz India - MD and CEO, who said that the company expects lower year-on-year sales at the end of the 2019 calendar year, compared to 2018. Schwenk was speaking to carandbike on the sidelines of the recently launched Mercedes-Benz V-Class Elite, and said that despite a strong show during the festive season, the poor showing in the previous quarters will take a toll in the overall sales figures.

  • The Diwali month has given some relief to automakers after the prolonged slowdown the industry has been through. Passenger Vehicles sales have gone up, though almost flat (0.28 per cent), after a 11 months at 285,027 units as compared to 284,223 units sold a year ago. The growth was largely driven by the Utility Vehicle (UV) segment which grew by 22.22 per cent at 100,725 units as compared to 82,413 units in the same month last year. In fact, popular SUVs like Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Hyundai Creta were under heavy discounts which have a fillip to the volumes. In the same month, sales of passenger cars went down by 6.34 per cent at 173,649 units as compared to 185,400 units a year ago while the Vans segment witnessed a slump of 35.08 per cent at 10,653 units as compared to 16,410 units a year ago.

  • Volkswagen India managed to buck the trend with its volume models - the Polo and the Vento registering a 19 per cent growth in October this year. While the auto industry has been on the road to recovery, sales reports continue to remain lower than expectations. However, the arrival of the festive season including Navratri, Dussehra and Diwali last month, expedited purchase decision for several buyers, helping carmakers post a positive growth. Volkswagen sold 3213 units of the Polo and the Vento in October 2019, as opposed to 3191 units that were sold during the same month last year. It is to be noted that the month October 2018 was a non-festive month last year.
