Sales of once super popular models like the Golf have dropped substantially due to production constraints last year, as have sales of the Polo and Passat.
New models like T-Roc have helped lift that volume somewhat but the German brand is definitely looking for a better result in 2023, if not quite a return its heyday of the mid-2010s.
