Sales at the BMW Group set a new June record with a total of 227,849 vehicles delivered to customers around the world, an increase of 9.1% on the same month last year. This latest record month means that the company has achieved its best ever first half-year sales: year-to-date deliveries are 5.8% up on the same period last year with a total of 1,163,139 vehicles sold.
There continues to be an increasing demand for BMW i and iPerformance vehicles, especially in Europe. In June, four percent of all BMW sales in Western Europe were electrified cars, with that percentage increasing significantly in markets where e-mobility is supported by financial and infrastructure measures.
For example, in the Netherlands, 14.9% of all BMWs sold in June were BMW i or BMW iPerformance models while in Scandinavia, the figure is 13.2%.
This month, the new BMW i3 94Ah is celebrating its market launch; this version of the i3 has a significantly increased battery capacity and offers customers a range of up to 200km under everyday conditions (300km in the standard NEDC cycle.
BMW i3 (94 Ah)/BMW i3 (60 Ah):
– combined fuel consumption 0.6./0.6l/100 km;
– combined electricity consumption: 11.3/13.5 kWh/100 km;
– combined CO2 emissions: 12/13 g/km)
Ahead of the launch, pre-orders of the new i3 model in Europe are already close to the 5,000 mark.
