Honda Motor said today that it posted an all-time sales record in 2023 with hybrid-electric vehicles leading US sales charts. The Honda CR-V hybrid SUV is the country’s best-selling hybrid model (197,317). The Accord hybrid sedan is the most popular hybrid-electric car (96,323). Last year, sales of Honda electrified models grew more than three-fold to set an all-time sales record with CR-V and Accord hybrid trims combining for 293,640 units, embodying more than 25% of total Honda brand sales.
“The success of our hybrid-electric sales in 2023 is an important building block toward our vision of 100% electrified vehicle sales by 2040,” said Lance Woelfer, assistant vice president of Honda National Auto Sales, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “With the all-electric Honda Prologue and a new Civic hybrid coming this year, Honda will continue to increase our electrified sales in 2024 and beyond.”
Honda Motor aspires to achieve a global goal of carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities by 2050. Honda wants to make battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles represent 100% of its new vehicle sales by 2040.

There are more than 1000 independent U.S. Honda dealers. The Honda lineup includes the Civic and Accord, along with the HR-V, CR-V, Passport and Pilot sport utility vehicles, the Ridgeline pickup and the Odyssey minivan. Honda’s electrified vehicle lineup includes the Accord hybrid, CR-V hybrid, and later this year, Civic hybrid. The Honda Prologue SUV, Honda’s first volume battery-electric vehicle, will also join the line this year.
Honda has been producing automobiles in America for over 40 years and currently operates 18 major non-UAW represented manufacturing facilities in North America. During 2022, more than 99% of all Honda vehicles sold in the US were made in North America, with more than two-thirds made in America, using domestic and globally sourced parts.
