This is the reason for the poor sales

 

They also introduces the XC40 which was always going to scavenge some sales. Also think about the hype surrounding it the previous year - world car of the year, SUV of the year, car of the year, etc... The hype machine was focused on the XC40 last year. Also note it still sold substantially more than the previous version ever did. This is also only the US - it will be interesting to see how its sales stack up worldwide.

 

Audi too seems to have suffered a massive drop in sales too:

The second category, and the reason for the lower sales of the Q7, is the introduction of the new Q8

 

What are you talking about? Note, this isn't a new model, it's a refresh. Also note that the year of the refresh the sales jumped 45% so falling back to earth a little isn't going to be a surprise.

We all know you're down on the car. You've made your views known to all, repeatedly. Trying to make those sales figures look poor (still 36% higher than the year before the refresh), knowing how much publicity the car got the year before that it wasn't getting last year, knowing that they introduced a new model that was going to scavenge the lower end of the existing model's sales, is petty to an extreme.

 

Do you know what the new model is
The XC60 MY2018 and 2019, the MY2020 is a new model

 

Volvo sales are up overall... Once you add a few options the XC60 prices competitively with the XC90 as well.. and if you want to save some money then the XC40 is a good alternative.

Depending on how they are optioned, the XC90 isn't really much more than an XC60. Rebates generally are better on XC90 as well. XC90 has the XC60 premium package features standard as well as adaptive cruise and pilot assist. On Inscription XC90 comes standard with vented seats. By the time you build the two out the price difference isn't there.

Overall for 2018 it looks like Volvo has 76461 SUV sales.. for 2019 they're showing 83983. XC40 and 90 sales both up by several thousand. Also, given that the data shows 2018 XC40 sales... I have to wonder what data is being used. Were some of the numbers in 2018 XC60 the previous gen? They never sold as well, but its possible Volvo did a punch in the year and force sold big chunks of inventory (as Volvo just did for XC60 and 90 2019 models this month). Lots of ways to look at data, but sales are up! Tough times to be a troll.

 

You have a stupid answer to the extreme
This is a database that is based on reports from car manufacturers

Do you now realize what kind of nonsense you wrote: 17.654+ 30578 + 35760 = 83.992

 

But really who cares about Audi, except OP and some who are “actively” cross-shopping. Nice distraction.

It is all about how much discount Volvo want to give. I guess XC90 sells fewer in Europe so they dump more of it in US by deeper discount. XC60 price is quite close to XC90 so sell fewer.

XC90 is a better bang of your money than XC60 in general if you don't need to worry about small parking slot. However XC60 T8 is more affordable than XC90 T8.

AFAIK, Volvo released 2 updated models in 2019.
and by the way, you still are pathetic.

 

Obviously, individuals understand what the new model is and what the facelift of the car

If the manufacturer offers additional equipment packages or something new that was not previously on offer (new materials or seat colors......) this is NOT a new model not is it an update model , because there were no changes to the appearance of the car such as: front and rear bumpers, headlights, front grille, hood or interior changes (not colors and materials) or similar.

With European manufacturers such as BMW, MB, Audi, after 4-5 years after the model has been introduced, a facelift will follow, bringing changes to the exterior and interior appearance and equipment
And after 2-3 years followed by a brand new model

For individuals to understand, this is a picture of a first-generation Volvo XC60 and a facelift same car

This is a first generation model and a facelift of the same model

Go back and read all the posts
This is for individuals who do not understand what the new model is, and for individuals who say that the update model if the interior color offer is different

"Note, this isn't a new model, it's a refresh."
or
" Volvo released 2 updated models in 2019 "

 

I think we're dealing with a colloquial issue. While I can point to countless examples such as Corolla, Mustang, Corvette, where they go many major changes, they are normally refereed to as new platforms, or new generations. I don't think anyone in the states would call it an all new model.. that implies a new name. And there are examples of that... such as Malibu to Lumina (and back to Malibu) where they are refered to as different models, but really were the same car carries through different generations with different names.

The termoniology does't really affect big bangs point. But that point to me is still wrong, or at least incomplete. As I pointed out, the data used is calendar year rather than model year. It also doesn't account for WHEN Volvo cashes out inventory. They can call them sold units even though they didn't enter consumer hands yet. Further comparing to other brands in other years doesn't account for other economic factors. A big one now one brought up for US sales is the switch from China to Sweden for US production (which these numbers are based on). There were some production constraints in the turnover and this was only affecting the XC60. So with overall sales up, overall SUV sales up, a new SUV model from Volvo offered, and only a small drop in XC60 reported sales I don't think you can really draw many negative conclusions other than Volvo SUVs are more popular than they were last year.

 

IMO, the XC40 is clearly drawing sales away from the XC60. I sure as hell considered going with the XC40 until I learned there's no HUD option.

I've never seen another Bursting Blue XC60 in person. XC40's and XC90's yes, but not another BB XC60.

When comparing sales between manufactures, it's difficult to scale success just based on units sold. Manufacturing capacity has a huge role to play here. The good news is Volvo had a successful 2019.

 

That's probably not the case here in LA (although it may be the case elsewhere). I couldn't find any XC40s on dealer lots. That could have changed though (is that a completely non-committal response, or what?).

You're lucky to have bursting blue! Such a gorgeous color. I'm sure your vehicle turns heads.

 

XC60 sales is double of XC90 worldwide. It is just more XC90 for USA.

Quote from press release today:

"In 2019 XC60 was the top selling model with sales of 204,965 cars (2018: 187,339 cars), followed by the XC40 at 139,847 cars (2018: 75,828 cars) and the XC90 with sales of 100,729 (2018: 94,182 units)."

 

The drop was mainly due to the tariffs imposed and since the U.S.-bound XC60s were being assembled in China, the switch had to take place and send European-assembled XC60s. The turnaround did affect supply until it caught up.
