Volvo Cars reported global sales of 177,830 vehicles for the rolling three-month period from November 2025 to January 2026, marking a 7% decline compared with 191,601 units sold during the same period a year earlier, the company said in a press release.
Starting January 2026, Volvo Cars will publish sales data on a rolling three-month basis instead of monthly standalone figures, a move aimed at providing a more accurate and meaningful view of sales performance over time.
The automaker cited continued pricing pressure, intense competition, and adverse regulatory developments in the United States as key factors impacting overall sales across regions.
Despite the decline, Volvo highlighted strong momentum in its electrified portfolio. Electrified vehicles, including fully electric and plug-in hybrid models, accounted for 48.6% of total sales during the period. Fully electric models represented 24% of total sales, rising 13% year-on-year to 42,770 units, driven by models such as the EX90 and EX30. Plug-in hybrid sales declined 14% to 43,692 units, while mild hybrid and internal combustion engine models fell 11% to 91,368 units.
Erik Severinson, Chief Commercial Officer of Volvo Cars, said the company is encouraged by growing demand for fully electric vehicles and strong customer interest in the newly launched EX60 electric SUV. He also noted that the XC70 long-range plug-in hybrid continued to strengthen the brand’s position in China’s rapidly expanding electrified vehicle segment.
Volvo’s shift to rolling three-month reporting reflects its focus on transparency and long-term trend analysis amid a challenging global automotive market.
