Al Nabooda Automobiles sets all-time sales record   

Khaleej Times - 09 July, 2012

Al Nabooda Automobiles announced a sales record for Volkswagen, in Dubai and other emirates, of 1,349 vehicles sold during the first half of 2012, eclipsing the same period in 2011 by 35 per cent.

Al Nabooda Automobiles remains the largest Volkswagen dealer in the Middle East achieving 24 per cent of total regional sales in the first half of 2012, according to a Press release.

Al Nabooda Automobiles’ results were buoyed by the strong performance of both Tiguan and Touareg models and the iconic Golf GTI, with its legion of loyal fans in the UAE, has also proved to be a high performer in the first quarter of 2012.

“This latest sales record reinforces the Volkswagen brand’s position in Dubai and other emirates’ markets. Consumers are increasingly choosing Volkswagen cars over competitors, as the firm’s blend of quality German engineering, cutting-edge technology and luxury features at an affordable price becomes increasingly well known in the region”, said Thierry Seys, Volkswagen general manager at Al Nabooda Automobiles.
