American Honda Sales Escape Summer Doldrums

American Honda has posted its best month since May with September sales of more than 79,000. Supply chain improvements led the increase. Acura had the brand’s best sales since April, led by the MDX – sales of 4,000 units, best sales in the past five months, and continued popularity of new Integra.

In fact, like the former “Detroit Three” automakers, Honda is thriving on trucks. Honda light truck sales continue to lead the Honda brand with CR-V topping 22,000 units and HR-V more than 8,000 in sales. The Ridgeline also set a new September record.

“While the auto industry seems to be hit by one challenge after another with transportation issues and parts shortages, the efforts of our dealers helped achieve strong turn rates that maximize the available inventory for our customers,” said Mamadou Diallo, vice president of Auto Sales for American Honda Motor Co. “Now, the pipeline is getting stronger with the expectation that increased production in the fourth quarter will support important upcoming all-new model introductions, like the CR-V, CR-V Hybrid and Pilot.”
