In August last year, the carmaker could only retail 497 units across the nation. This is a YoY growth of roughly 101 per cent.
Following hot on the heels is another German marque – BMW. The carmaker managed to post a sales figure of 692 units. Hence, registering a YoY growth of 68 per cent, in comparison to the 411 units sold in the same month last year.
Respectfully taking the third sport is Jaguar Land Rover with a sale of 237 units. Thus, clocking an increment of 104 per cent on a YoY basis. Next on the list is Volvo. The brand retailed a total of 130 units in the country. It is a hike of 37 units when compared to the sales of the same month last year. On a YoY basis, Volvo marked a growth of 39 per cent only.
