- 12,412 cars sold in the UK in March 2026 – Volvo Car UK’s highest monthly total
- Record breaking quarter with 19,125 total new car sales
- Market share for March is strong at 3.26% as demand for its broad portfolio and electrified models grows

The result is a record for the month of March and is the highest volume achieved in any single month by Volvo Car UK. It was also a record first quarter, demonstrating growth in customer demand for the brand’s distinctive, award-winning product range.

The strong sales performance arrives as several important product launches are set to further strengthen Volvo’s product line-up in the UK. The highly anticipated EX60 is due to arrive in UK showrooms this summer, while the recently unveiled ES90 also expands Volvo’s fully electric offering.
In addition, Volvo has recently announced the EX30 Cargo, a fully electric compact commercial vehicle designed to meet the needs of business and fleet customers.
Nicole Melillo Shaw, Managing Director, Volvo Car UK, said: “Our record-breaking performance in March is a significant milestone for Volvo Car UK and reflects the strength of our product portfolio and of the collaboration with our retail partners. We are seeing strong momentum as more consumers continue to choose Volvo, something we truly appreciate given the significant choice of brands available to them.
“This success gives us a strong platform as we look ahead to an exciting period for the brand. With the arrival of new models and continued innovation, we are well positioned for further growth in the UK market.”
