DHAKA: Sales of Volkswagen cars fell 20% in the UK last month following the diesel emissions scandal.

In November, 12,958 new VWs were registered, down from 16,196 in November 2014, SMMT figures show, reports the BBC.

Other VW Group marques were also hit, with Seat down 24%, Skoda down 11% and Audi down 4%. Only Bentley managed an increase, with sales up from 73 vehicles to 88.

Overall 3.8% more new cars were registered than for November last year.

Among the mass-market manufacturers, Citroen saw the biggest fall, with sales down 29%, but the company pointed out this was a result of its DS brand being separated from the main Citroen marque over the course of the last year.

Combining Citroen and DS gives a fall in sales of only 3%.

Among the big gainers, Vauxhall achieved a 26% rise.
