“June was a strong month for SUVs, especially Kuga, and commercial vehicles,” said Roelant de Waard, Vice President, Marketing, Sales, and Service, Ford of Europe. “All-new Fiesta deliveries begin in July, and we’re confident customers will love it. Fiesta sales were very strong in the early months of this year, making it Europe’s best-selling car in March and running down stocks of the prior Fiesta model. Overall, we’ve had a robust first half in 2017.”

Ford’s biggest markets in June in terms of sales volume were Britain, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain, which is the same order for market volume through six months. In terms of share, Ford was led by Britain, Ireland, Hungary, Turkey, and Finland. Through six months, Britain, Turkey, Hungary, Ireland, and Romania are Ford’s market share leaders.

Through the first half of 2017, Ford of Europe’s sales total 745,200 vehicles delivered, up 26,500 vehicles or 3.7% year-over-year. SUV sales are up 29% through June, totaling 122,800 vehicles delivered.
