April 2011 marked a record month for Skoda, thanks to more sales worldwide than ever before. The UK saw dealers selling 3,300 cars over the month.
The brand's popular Fabia, Octavia, Superb, Roomster and Yeti lines have helped earn the brand a 2.45 per cent market share, besting sister brand SEAT by almost one per cent.
Further afield growth continued, with the Ukraine increasing sales by 81 per cent. Sales in Western Europe grew the brand by ten per cent.
"We are very satisfied with the sales figures," explained Jürgen Stackmann, the Skoda board member for sales and marketing. "With a growth of almost one quarter in the first four months we have sent a clear message and are fully on course regarding our growth strategy."
"Contributions to this result did not just come from the growth regions either. We are stronger than ever on the European market and have won many new customers."
