With total sales reaching 1,586,551, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. beat its previous annual sales record, set back in 2007, by three percent. Honda Division sales reached 1,409,386, an increase of 2.6 percent over last year's record; while Acura sales totaled 177,165, a 5.6 percent YOY increase, and the divisions best sales total since 2007.
"What better way to celebrate the "Year of Honda" than with an all-time automobile sales record," said John Mendel, executive vice president of the Automobile Division of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "We are grateful to our customers who embraced our entire product lineup and are the true power behind the Honda brand."
Honda's core models, Civic, Accord, and CR-V, combined to top the one million sales mark for the third year in a row, with CR-V breaking its own annual record by 3.2 percent, and maintaining its place as the number one SUV in America.
"While we are excited about the all-time sales record, we continue to have incredible momentum driven by the relentless cadence of new and successful products we introduced in 2015 that will give the Honda brand tremendous energy going into the new year," said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division. "With a similar pace of new products coming this year, we're anticipating a very robust 2016."
