Volkswagen lifts ID.4 sales stop order, leading to sales decline in fourth quarter
Jetta sales jump more than 50% thanks to eye-catching facelift Volkswagen dealers finally obtained parts to repair the ID.4 and resumed sales. Production of the ID.4 is expected to restart in the coming weeks, and the automaker has committed to leasing deals. Volkswagen's sales rose 15.2% last year, in part due to strong demand for the Atlas and Jetta.
