Sales Highlights

With another month of sales near 30,000 units, Civic maintained its grip on the compact car segment, even as new or renewed competitors come to market. Honda trucks and electrified vehicles also exhibited sales strength in June.

  • CR-V and Civic continued to lead Honda sales, with CR-V topping 30,000 units and Civic nearly reaching the same benchmark.
  • Pilot also posted a strong month on sales of 11,579 units, Ridgeline gained 5% on sales of 2,761 units, 3,385 Passports were delivered, and Odyssey led all minivans on sales of 9,202.
  • Electrified vehicle sales again topped 5,500 for the month, with Insight and Accord Hybrid both posting retail sales of more than 2,000 units.

Model Notes


Civic continues to set itself apart as the runaway retail best-selling car in America three-and-a-half years running, with refreshed Hatchback, Si and Type R models coming soon.




Light truck leadership: CR-V is the #1 SUV in America, Pilot and HR-V are retail #2 in their respective segments and Odyssey is the #1 minivan in America.





BRAND REPORT




Sales Highlights

Acura ILX continued to gain strength since its refresh with a strong showing in June, helping to strengthen its position near the top of its segment. MDX also gained for the month and RDX continues to lead the compact luxury SUV segment in retail sales for the year.

  • Sales of Acura's gateway luxury sport sedan, the ILX, jumped 41.7% on sales of 1,312 units in June.
  • MDX sales were up 5% for the month with 4,087 units delivered, while RDX posted another strong month with 4,868 units sold.

Model Notes


Nearly 99% of all Acuras sold in the U.S. are made in America – five of six Acura models are built in Ohio -- topping all but one luxury brand.




Building on an all-time annual sales record in 2018, Acura light-truck momentum continues, with RDX and MDX combining for a double-digit sales gain this year.

I don’t mean to keep bashing on the LS, but this is embarrassing. Not sure if there is much Lexus can do about it. I am glad to have my 460!!

Toyota had one less selling day in the month of June in 2019 vs June 2018. Toyota still sold 4881 per day in June 19 compared to 4887 per day in June 2018. You cannot just go by percentage. You have to look at other variables such as market share, average transactions, days on lot, and even selling days.

Toyota is right on track to meet last years targets, and perhaps a small increase. How do we know that? Toyota had one less selling day in 2019 vs 2018, and they have sold more cars "per day" in 2019 than in 2018

I have no idea if Hyundai had more or less selling days, I am sure it was comparable to Toyota.

Hyundai/Kia make more attractive vehicles and better value than Nissan/Honda/Nissan IMO. Especially Nissan.

They knew what they were doing. The x5/x6 didn't even get a refresh before being redesigned

lol - toyota didn’t have one less selling day than their competition, they simply report if a month has one more or less selling days than the same month in the prior reporting period (year) so the periods can be compared more meaningfully.

i then pointed out that over the whole YEAR to date they’re down and 1 day is hardly going to make the difference.

No idea what qed is
