VW has released its global sales figures for January 2012, reporting strong growth despite the volatility of some markets.
Overall, during January, VW registered 419,200 vehicles for purchase, lease or finance worldwide.
This sees a modest year on year increase of 0.1%, although in some markets the figure is dramatically higher.
Given the current economic climate, VW are pleased with this achievement, crediting it to their young and innovative range.
Plus, January 2011 showed very high sales for VW.
The global figures
VW showed quite drastically differing performances across their global markets.
In North America, there was a 30 percent increase in the number of cars registered for purchase, finance or lease.
In the USA, this figure climbed to an astronomic 47.9%, which 27,200 cars were delivered for lease, finance, or purchase.
Meanwhile South America saw a steady rise of 3.2% in the sale of VW cars.
VW?s performance was not so strong in Asia and the South Pacific, which saw an overall decrease of 6.9 percent, compared to 2011.
In China alone, Asia?s largest market, Volkswagen saw their sales dip by 8.6 percent.
However, this was a trend experienced by other manufacturers, and was due to Chinese New Year being much earlier than usual.
VW experienced gains in India, with a massive increase of 42 percent in the number of cars released for purchase, lease or finance.
Despite the volatile political and economic situation in Europe, VW did see a small rise of 0.8%.
In Western Europe and Germany, the number of VW?s registered for purchase, lease or finance decreased by 2.9 and 8.4 percent respectively.
This was balanced out by powerful growth in Central and Eastern Europe, which saw an average growth of 67 percent for Volkswagen.
In Russia this became a triple digit explosion, with an 118% increase in Volkswagen sales, more than double than last year.
