Best-ever market share month for Seat following Ibiza and Leon success

Seat has experienced its best-ever market share for a single month because of the continued high sales of the Ibiza and Leon models.

The manufacturer's market share was 2.07 per cent in July, with more than 20,000 cars sold in the UK so far this year.

Speaking about how Seat is performing so strongly, its UK managing director Peter Wyhinny said that the Ibiza Copa and Leon Copa are "connecting more powerfully than ever with buyers".

He added that the high number of sales is down to the quality of vehicle that the manufacturer produces.

"It's now very obvious that our dynamic, stylish and great value cars are making an increasing impact here," Mr Wyhinny explained.

"Importantly, too, our dealer network is growing while our increased marketing activities around such high profile events as the Uefa Europa League are putting the Seat Brand in front of an audience of millions."

In June, it was revealed that Seat would be making its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with its Ibiza Bimotor getting a run on the track.
