On October 10, 2025, the Volkswagen Group published the deliveries for January to September 2025.

“The Volkswagen Group has slightly increased its global deliveries in the first nine months. We are benefiting from the continued positive momentum generated by the broad-based product offensive with a total of 60 new models from our strong brands this year and last year. These vehicles are proving extremely popular with our customers, as evidenced by the 17 percent increase in order intake in Western Europe. We were able to compensate for the challenging conditions in China and the US with partly significant increases in South America and Europe. In our home region of Europe, we grew by eight percent in the third quarter alone. Our all-electric models are a key driver of this positive development. By the end of September, we have delivered around 80 percent more of these models in Europe than in the same period last year, and worldwide we were up around 40 percent. However, the first nine months also show one thing very clearly: in order to succeed in this challenging market environment, we must continue to focus all our efforts on implementing our group-wide product offensive and ongoing performance programs.”

Key figures

6.60 million vehicles delivered worldwide after nine months, up 1 percent on previous year (6.52 million vehicles)

Growth in South America (+15 percent), Western Europe (+3 percent) and Central and Eastern Europe (+10 percent) more than offset expected declines in China (-4 percent) and North America (-8 percent).

717,500 BEV deliveries worldwide by the end of September, up 42 percent year-on-year (506,600 vehicles)

Strong increase in BEV deliveries in Europe (+78 percent) and the USA (+85 percent), decline in China (-43 percent) as planned ahead of the launch of new electric models; Volkswagen Group is the clear BEV market leader in Europe (market share of around 27 percent); global BEV share after three quarters rises significantly from 8 to 11 percent compared to the previous year, climbing from 12 to 20 percent in Western Europe.

+17 percent Incoming orders in Western Europe in the first nine months

The rise in orders is driven in particular by new models of all drive types, such as the VW ID.7 Tourer, VW Transporter/Multivan, CUPRA Terramar, Skoda Elroq, Audi Q6 e-tron, and Porsche 911; BEV orders increase particularly strongly (+64 percent) and account for around 22 percent of total order intake in Western Europe.

299,000 PHEV deliveries worldwide, up around 55 percent on the same period last year (193,000 vehicles)

Demand for vehicles with modern second-generation plug-in hybrid drives (PHEVs) and pure electric ranges of up to 143 km is increasing.

Development of core regions

Europe

A total of 2,907,500 vehicles were delivered in the region, representing an increase of 4.1 percent. Growth was 3.2 percent in Western Europe and 10.2 percent in Central and Eastern Europe. In the home market of Germany, 4.6 percent more vehicles were handed over to customers.

North America

708,800 customers took delivery of a vehicle from a Group brand, 7.8 percent fewer than in the same period last year. In the main market,the USA,the decline was 9.3 percent in a challenging environment marked by the tariff situation.

South America

The region grew most strongly, by 14.9 percent, to 481,800 vehicles. In the main market of Brazil,growth was 6.8 percent.

Asia-Pacific

The region recorded a decline of 2.8 percent to 2,208,000 vehicles. The main reason for this was the intense competitive situation in China. In the BEV segment there, deliveries declined significantly as planned ahead of the launch of new models. Across all drive types, the decline of 4.0 percent was in line with expectations.
