ŠKODA has announced record sales in Ireland with 6,310 vehicles delivered to Irish customers in 2014, an increase of 27% on the same period last year with 4,950 vehicle deliveries.

The previous record set for ŠKODA in Ireland was in 2007 with 6,280 vehicles registered. Sales records are also reflected globally with the brand achieving the 1 million vehicle milestone for the very first time having also just recorded the best November in their corporate history.

The results come on the back of ŠKODA Ireland’s investment strategy which has seen the addition of three new dealerships to the ŠKODA network over the last 12 months bringing the ŠKODA national dealer network to 26.

Commenting on the announcement, John Donegan, Brand Director, ŠKODA Ireland said: “We are on track in 2014 to secure 6.6% of the Irish car market. Ireland is in fact one of the most successful markets in Western Europe for ŠKODA sales. Over the last 21 years Irish people have really bought into the value proposition that the ŠKODA brand represents. The brand’s success can be attributed to our great network of dealers and more recently to the backing of our finance partners that can provide us with great packages like the current 0% PCP offer on Octavia”

To celebrate the landmark achievement at home and globally, ŠKODA has launched 0% PCP finance for the bestselling Octavia model. Offered over three years and inclusive of routine servicing, this offer makes the Octavia very affordable with monthly repayments from €179.
