Hyundai rose 1% and Mazda’s sales by 3%, while Honda fell 11% and Toyota by 22% compared to last year.
Car sales in the United States have increased for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic closed many dealerships this spring, at least in Hyundai and Mazda. Hyundai reported a 1% increase in sales compared to July 2019, its first increase since February, Mazda sales increased by 3% and Volvo sales by 10%. Honda’s Acura department also rose slightly, Honda’s logo down 13%. Toyota recorded a 22% low since last July and Subaru up to 20%, which seems to be anomalies.
Honda’s car diversity has fallen by nearly 20% this month, however, a smaller decrease in SUV diversity (7% less) prevented Honda’s numbers from falling as dramatically as some competitors. The HR-V and Pilot intersections were on the rise; the best-selling CR-V was down 10% and the Mid-Accord sedan dropped by 29%.
Acura’s luxury department controlled an increase of 2.5%, with the best-selling RDX crossover expanding by 8%.
In the case of Hyundai, the trend line expands basically linearly, as this slight increase occurs after reporting 43% minimisation in March, 39% minimisation in April, 13% minimisation in May and 22% minimisation in June. According to Hyundai, retail sales increased by 4% and fleet sales (representing 7% of the July total) were minimized by 32%. In the first quarter of 2020, Hyundai behaved better than many other automakers, reporting an overall decline of 18%, while the number of many competitors fell by more than 25%.
Hyundai has to thank its SUV line a lot for the strong month of July. The three-row Palisade SUV sold 8404 units, massive construction from last year and enough to catapult it forward from the Sonata midsize sedan, which sold 6834 units. The Tucson (10922 units) and Santa Fe (9296 units) were the two most productive concessionaires of the brand, or declined compared to last July.
Hyundai’s luxury division, Genesis, fell 21 percent, promoting 1257 games in July.
Kia’s sales fell in July 2020 alone from last year, from 53405 games to 52479 games. The SUVs Sportage and Sorento were the most sensible sellers of the brand, while the Seltos crossover, a recent addition to the line, contributed to sales of 4504.
Mazda sales increased by 3% to 24,085 games sold in July. This is largely due to the new CX-30 crossover, which was not yet on sale in July 2019. It added 3787 total Mazda sales this month, enough to offset the declines in the best-selling CX-5 and automaker as a whole. diversity of cars.
Subaru boasts of its long sales expansion fillets, but this has not been the case recently. The logo fell 20% in July compared to last year, to 51,458 games sold. The SUV Forester rose by 4%, but Outback, Ascent, Crosstrek and Legacy dropped significantly. Subaru says the source of many models is low, reflecting a broader industry trend as automakers struggle to maintain stock levels.
Toyota and Lexus were down 22% in July. Toyota’s logo numbers dropped 21 percent, and the Supra sports car, which accounted for only 515 of Toyota’s 146,044 total sales, was the only style that showed an increase compared to last year. Toyota noted that sales of hybrid styles had increased by 15%.
Lexus, Toyota’s luxury brand, didn’t slip like its classic solid partner, with a 6% drop. Its small crossover models, the UX and the NX, recorded increases in sales.
The Swedish luxury logo released a building until last July, with 9697 games sold. All three of their SUVs were in place. However, its cumulative figures since the beginning of the year are still below 2019.
