Citroen Smashes Sales Records Again
Published: 5th April 2003
Over the first three months of the year the market as a whole experienced a slight decrease, yet Citroen’s continued popularity was brought sharply into focus with over 12% more buyers helping the Company to a market share of 5.7%.
Notable market growth has been seen this year in the retail, diesel and supermini sectors – all areas in which Citroen has performed particularly well. The Company increased its retail sales by 20% in the first quarter, making it the third biggest manufacturer, while its diesel sales have continually outperformed the rapidly increasing market.
And with over 7% of all superminis sold in the UK now sporting a Citroen badge, the Company is also flourishing in this major market. The funky C3 is going down a storm, with over 11,000 having been snapped up already this year, whilst the cult-like status of the Saxo ensures that it continues to prove extremely popular. On top of this, Citroen’s successful range of people carriers accounts for a quarter of all MPV sales.
To keep the ball rolling, Citroen’s current range
of unbeatable offers, available until the end of April, includes
cashbacks of up to £3,500 on the C5, £2,600 on
the hugely popular Xsara Picasso, and £2,000 on the
C3 supermini, while a cashback deal on the new 1.4i Xsara
Forte saloon makes this family car available for just £8,495.
