U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - November 2016 YTD
A 4% leap forward to roughly 1.37 million sales would have produced the highest-volume November in history.
U.S. auto sales did in fact jump 3.6% to more than 1.37 million sales in November 2016, propelled by big gains at every General Motors brand, healthy improvements at Hyundai and Kia, and growth at Toyota, Ford, Honda, Nissan, and the Volkswagen Group, as well.
First to report: Ford Motor Company, which declared a 5% overall uptick with help from utilities (up 19%), F-Series pickup trucks (up 11%), and the Lincoln brand (up 19%). Total Toyota sales rose 4% despite a Lexus slowdown – Toyota posted big gains with the Highlander, Corolla, Tacoma, and Tundra. General Motors, the largest seller of automobiles in the United States, jumped 10% with meaningful improvements at all four brands. Nissan reported more than 100,000 Nissan brand sales for the tenth consecutive month; total Nissan/Infiniti sales were up 7.5%. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reported a sharp 14% total sales drop because of declines at almost every brand: only Ram's 12% shone as a bright light. Despite a 5% Acura drop, total American Honda numbers were still up 7% because of rising Accord, Civic, Fit, HR-V, and Ridgeline numbers.
