Honda trucks continued to build strong momentum in September, with record total sales and strong performances across the lineup. While car sales ceded some ground to trucks, the strength of Honda passenger cars has pushed them to the top of industry retail market share, despite tight supplies of key models.
- Honda Pilot jumped 50.2% in September on sales of 15,464 units.
- CR-V sales topped 30,000 units for the month, just shy of another record.
- With gas prices topping $4.00/gallon in parts of the U.S., sales of Honda electrified vehicles continue to rise, with Accord Hybrid, Insight and Clarity Plug-in Hybrid combining for nearly 6,000 September deliveries.
The new RDX continued to break sales records and combined with strong MDX sales to set a new September record for Acura trucks.
- RDX set its 4th straight monthly sales mark since launching in June. Sales totaled 5,699 for the month, a gain of 54.3%.
- Acura's flagship luxury SUV, the MDX, turned in another strong performance with sales of 4,643 units in September.
- The refreshed and re-energized 2019 ILX goes on sale later this month.
