So far this year, Volkswagen Ireland has registered 7,580 vehicles, representing a market share of 12.6% (up 0.5%) on 2011.
Commenting, John Donegan, Head of Sales and Marketing for Volkswagen Ireland, said: "May was a very competitive month in the motor industry, but thanks to the great offers we have for customers, from free tax and insurance to hugely competitive finance offers, we have seen strong showroom traffic throughout the month.
"There has been a huge reaction to our latest offerings, such as Cross Polo and Golf Match, and our dealers will soon be getting the first of the latest, 21st Century Beetles in the coming weeks."
Volkswagen Ireland's strong performance is against the backdrop of an overall motoring industry that year to date is 8.8 % down on 2011, with May down 12.9% on May 2011.
