VW Model Sales Worldwide in 2025

Volkswagen did not release a detailed breakdown of global sales by model for 2025.

SUVs maintained their strong position in the brand’s model mix in 2025. They accounted for 50.2 percent of Volkswagen’s total deliveries, an increase of 5.3 percent year-on-year. In the United States, over 78.5 percent of Volkswagen models sold were SUVs.

Volkswagen’s best-selling SUV in Europe is the T-Roc, the second generation of which came on the market in 2025, selling 201,995 units (+3.9 percent on 2024). The Volkswagen Tayron, available since spring 2025, is also being well received, with 60,700 units already delivered worldwide.

Stronger VW Electric Car Sales in Germany and Europe in 2025

Volkswagen significantly increased its sales of all-electric vehicles in 2025, especially in Germany and Europe. Deliveries rose to 93,800 vehicles in the company’s home market of Germany (+60.7 percent) and to around 247,900 units in the whole of Europe (+49.1 percent).

The new best-selling model in the ID. family, the ID.7, was a major driver of this growth. Around 35,000 units of this model were delivered in Germany, representing an increase of 132.0 percent. The ID.7 was likewise popular among customers across Europe, who ordered 76,600 units (+133.9 percent). The top model is available both as a saloon (ID.7) and as an estate (ID.7 Tourer).

Volkswagen expects demand for its electric vehicles to rise in the current year as it rolls out many new all-electric models, including the ID. Polo with a starting price of around 25,000 euros, and the production version of the ID. Cross compact SUV. VW must hope that the launch of the electric Polo could boost sales, especially in Germany, similar to the success of the electric-only Renault 5 in France.
