With a balanced sales structure across individual markets, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, delivered a total of 279,449 cars to customers around the world in 2025. The figure was 310,718 for the previous year, representing a decline of 10 per cent. Porsche’s top priority remains a value-oriented derivative mix.

Audi delivered more than 1.6 million vehicles to customers worldwide in 2025, a decline of approximately 3 percent to the previous year. However, deliveries rose year over year in every month starting in September, signaling an upward trend. The order books support the trend: last year, orders increased over 13 percent compared with 2024, orders for electric models jumped around 58 percent. Deliveries of all-electric models reached a record of over 223,000 units in 2025, approximately 36 percent.

SEAT & CUPRA set a new sales record in 2025, delivering 586,300 vehicles despite a challenging global automotive environment - a 5.1% increase on 2024 (558,200) and surpassing the previous record of 574,100 set in 2019.

The Volkswagen brand delivered around 4.73 million vehicles to customers worldwide last year. Deliveries therefore virtually matched the prior-year level amid challenging market conditions (–1.4 percent). While a positive trend could be observed particularly in Europe (+5.1 percent) and South America (+18.5 percent), the market environment in China (–8.4 percent) remains challenging. US tariffs also had a marked impact on deliveries in North America (–8.2 percent).

The Brand Group Core within the Volkswagen Group – the organizational unit including the volume brands Volkswagen, Škoda, SEAT&CUPRA and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles – is strategically reorienting its production and establishing a high-performance regional production network.

The Volkswagen Group is the most successful manufacturer at the 49th edition of "The Golden Steering Wheel". Every year, the German trade magazine AUTO BILD and the BILD am SONNTAG newspaper recognise outstanding new models with this award. Of the twelve trophies awarded in total, six went to Volkswagen Group brands. The core brand Volkswagen achieved a historic success with four category wins. No other brand has ever received so many “Golden Steering Wheels” in a single year. Two further prizes were awarded to the CUPRA and Porsche brands.

With the opening of the new Porsche Charging Lounge in Himmelkron, the brand's own fast-charging network has grown to 10 locations in Europe. Through the Porsche Charging Service, customers now have access to more than one million charging points across 27 European countries – including more than 95,000 fast-charging points with at least 150 kW. At the same time, the sports car manufacturer has revised the tariff structure of Porsche Charging Plus and extended the free idle time for AC charging to up to 14 hours.

SEAT S.A. continues to navigate a complex landscape in 2025, as reflected in the company's financial results for the period between January and September. Despite higher sales revenue, the company’s operating profit declined compared with the same period in 2024, mainly due to the sales mix; EU tariffs on the CUPRA Tavascan, manufactured in China; and product costs.

In the first three quarters of 2025, Škoda Auto recorded strong key financial indicators: revenue rose to €22.344 billion (+9.5%), operating profit increased to €1.790 billion (+5.4%) and net cash flow stood at a very robust level, amounting to €1.934 billion (–2.8%). Return on Sales (RoS) remained at a solid 8.0% (2024: 8.3%), confirming Škoda’s position as one of the most profitable European volume car brands. 765,700 vehicles were delivered to customers worldwide, a year-on-year increase of 14.1%. In Europe (EU27, UK, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland), the brand delivered 616,300 vehicles, holding third place overall in the region. BEV and PHEV models accounted for 24.1% of deliveries (2024: 11.1%), with the Elroq and Enyaq models ranking third and sixth in Europe’s BEV sales. Additionally, the Elroq passed the milestone of 100,000 orders since the start of sales. Škoda’s internationalisation strategy is also taking effect, with an all-time high of 49,400 vehicles delivered in the Indian market (+106.1%). In Vietnam, production of the Kushaq started earlier this year, and production and sales of the Slavia began in September.

In the first nine months of 2025, the Brand Group Core continued its positive development and significantly improved vehicle sales, sales revenue and the operating result.

The Audi Group’s financial performance in the first nine months of 2025 reflects the challenging economic situation. Revenue during the reporting period amounted to approximately 48.4 billion euros, an increase of 4.6 percent compared to the same period last year. Operating profit totaled around 1.6 billion euros, while net cash flow reached 2.1 billion euros. In total, the Brand Group Progressive* delivered 1,191,141 vehicles in the first nine months. Demand was particularly strong for Audi electric vehicles, with a growth of 41 percent. Audi remains committed to its course: with the introduction of a new design philosophy and corporate strategy, Audi is embarking on the next chapter of its transformation.

Despite a persistently weak and uncertain market environment, the TRATON GROUP managed to keep its sales revenue in Europe nearly stable in the first nine months of 2025.

TRATON successfully launched its first group-wide Green Finance Framework to accelerate financings and refinancings of battery-electric commercial vehicles (BEV) throughout the entire value chain.
