Hyundai’s third quarter retail sales were up 3% compared with the third quarter of 2018, while retail sales also declined by 9% in September. Hyundai’s SUV and eco-friendly vehicle lineup achieved retail sales growth in September, led by Santa Fe (up 5%), Kona (up 20%) and Ioniq (up 20%).

SUBARU OF AMERICA ANNOUNCES SEPTEMBER SALES
- 67 Consecutive Months of more than 40,000 Units
- 74 Consecutive Months of more than 10,000 Forester Units
- 67 Consecutive Months of more than 10,000 Outback Units
“2019 is already turning out to be another record year for Subaru thanks to the excellent efforts of our retailers,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. “Due to the rapid sell-down of the last generation Legacy and Outback models, our yearly, month-over-month sales streak of 93 consecutive months came to an end in September. We look forward to robust sales in October and are on target to achieve our 700,000-vehicle sales goal for 2019, marking 12 consecutive years of sales increases.”
“Buoyed by the sales success of the all-new Forester, and strong demand for the outgoing Outback and Legacy, we started September with historically low inventory levels,” said Jeff Walters, Senior Vice President of Sales. “With the all-new 2020 Outback and Legacy starting to arrive at retailers and a strong book of presold orders waiting to be delivered, we look forward to strong sales in October and the remainder of the year.”
Earlier in September, Subaru announced the sale of its 10-millionth vehicle in the U.S. The new owner took delivery of a 2019 Subaru Impreza at the oldest Subaru retail facility in the country, Nate Wade Subaru in Salt Lake City, Utah.
“It took us 41 years to achieve our first five million sales, and just over 10 years to achieve the next five million,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America. “Accomplishing this milestone reflects our commitment to providing customers with vehicles made to the highest standards of safety, reliability and dependability.”

"Following the best sales month in our company's history in August, the Honda brand delivered balanced sales performance across our passenger car and light truck offerings," said Henio Arcangeli, Jr., senior vice president of Automobile Sales at American Honda Motor Co. "As we enter the final quarter of 2019, we are expecting a strong finish to the year for both the Honda and Acura brands."
BRAND REPORT
Sales Highlights
With fewer selling days and none of the big Labor Day holiday sales totals falling in September, Honda brand sales were down compared to Sept. 2018. Still, both cars and trucks posted solid sales to counter industry trends.
- Gateway models Fit and HR-V performed well, gaining 79.6% (2,707 units) and 25.9% (7,528 units) respectively, vs. 2018.
- CR-V posted a strong month despite a brief stop sale to allow owner's manuals to be updated before deals could be consummated.
- Civic and Accord continue to fight industry truck trends, with combined sales totaling over 42,000 units as Honda cars topped 46% of Honda brand sales for the month, compared to industry sales of about 30%.
Model Notes
The 10th-gen Civic is headed for its 4th straight year as America's retail best-selling car and a full decade as the country's most popular compact.
With the 2019 Passport named a Top Safety Pick, every Honda light truck—SUV, minivan and pickup—now earns a TSP crashworthiness rating from IIHS.
BRAND REPORT
Sales Highlights
While the shorter month and luxury brands competing on price challenged year-over-year results for the Acura brand, gateway Acura models ILX and RDX performed well to maintain brand momentum.
- ILX gained a solid 15.9% on sales of 1,078 units.
- While key competitors are spending aggressively to capture sales, RDX remains strong with sales topping 4,300 units to maintain its #2 position in segment
- Acura SUV sales continue to lead the brand with total sales of over 8,000 units.
Model Notes
The RDX is on pace for another record in 2019. Acura's hugely popular compact luxury SUV has earned annual sales records in 8 of the past 9 years.
Following its 2019 refresh, ILX is America's fastest growing compact luxury sedan, serving as Acura's gateway model by bringing in more first time, millennial and multicultural buyers than any other model.
