American Honda Q1
“Like much of the industry, we’re riding a bit of a roller coaster due to fluctuating parts supply issues, but strong March sales for Honda and Acura speak to the fact that demand remains strong and our retail deliveries are based primarily on what we can supply to our dealers,” said Dave Gardner, executive vice president of Business & Sales at American Honda. “We aren’t out of the woods yet, but we will continue to manage the supply issues to maximize production and help our dealers meet the needs of our customers.”



BRAND REPORT
Sales Highlights

While the award-winning Civic remains in extremely tight supply, stronger availability of hybrid-electric models contributed to the Honda brand posting relatively strong sales of nearly 95,000 units in March.
  • Higher gas prices and increased supply of CR-V Hybrid and Accord Hybrid help Honda set new monthly record for electrified vehicles (12,635)
  • HR-V set an all-time monthly sales record and a 14th straight monthly mark sustaining momentum for the April reveal of the all-new 2023 HR-V

  • Accord nears 18,000 March sales on record month (4,857) for Accord Hybrid
Model Notes
Honda will reveal the all-new sporty and versatile 2023 HR-V this month, the first of three new SUVsto be introduced this year.


Six 2022 Honda models earned a TOP SAFETY PICK rating or better from IIHS, and all fully tested Honda vehicles earn NHTSA’s top NCAP crash-test ratings.



BRAND REPORT
Sales Highlights

Acura posted strong March sales topping 13,000 units based on strong sales of SUVs and the best month for Acura sedans since August 2021.
  • Acura SUV sales near 10,000 units, led by best sales month since May 2021 for MDX
  • Demand for TLX Type S help lead Acura sedan sales to nearly 3,300 units
  • Type S direction resonates with buyers, driving MDX, TLX and NSX Type S variants to strong March sales.
Model Notes
First two months of manual transmission production is pre-sold, with over 75% of 2023 Integra pre-orders for the three-pedal model.


Deliveries of MDX Type S have begun, the most powerful, best handling and best equipped Acura SUV ever.

Improved Semiconductor Supply Drives Significant Year-over-Year Market Share Gains for GM in Key Truck Segments

More than 40% of U.S. retail customers in the full-size pickup market bought Chevrolet and GMC trucks during the first quarter, while full-size SUV retail share approached 70%

2022-04-01

Print ?Subject=Improved Semiconductor Supp...1-gmsales.html Add ThisDETROIT – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) sold 512,846 vehicles in the United States in the first quarter of 2022, with improved semiconductor supplies supporting higher production and market share in key truck segments.

“Our ability to meet pent-up demand improved dramatically thanks to a tremendous effort by our supply chain and manufacturing teams to keep our plants operating at close to normal levels,” said Steve Carlisle, executive vice president and president, GM North America. “Supply chain disruptions are not fully behind us, but we expect to continue outperforming 2021 production levels, especially in the second half of the year.”

According to GM Chief Economist Elaine Buckberg, industry light vehicle volumes will grow this year and top 2021 levels, thanks to a strong labor market, higher vehicle production and pent-up demand.

“Ordinarily, a U.S. economy this strong would translate into light vehicle sales in the 17-million range,” she said. “Improvements in the supply chain should lift auto sales as the year progresses, despite headwinds from higher inflation and fuel prices.”

Production, Deliveries and Inventory Highlights

GM estimates total light vehicle SAAR for the first quarter was 14.1 million, down from 16.8 million a year ago, due to lower inventory and production levels. GM deliveries in the first quarter were down 20% from a year ago, but they were up 16% from the fourth quarter.

GM’s production in North America has increased sequentially each quarter since the end of September 2021, and the company ended the first quarter with 273,760 vehicles in dealer inventory, including in-transit units, which are rising. Inventories were 128,757 units at the end of the third quarter of 2021, and 199,662 at the end of the fourth quarter. GM expects inventory to remain relatively low throughout the year due to high demand.

GM Extends its Truck Leadership

GM’s performance, along with a more stable operating environment, has already translated into market share gains for GM in key truck segments:
  • The combined retail market share of the Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD pickups was a segment-leading 41.5% during the first quarter, according to J.D. Power PIN – up more than 10 percentage points from a year ago and GM’s strongest quarter in HD retail market share in over a decade.
  • The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 also led their segment during the quarter, with combined retail market share of nearly 42%, up 2.6 points year over year, according to J.D. Power PIN.
  • The combined retail market share of the Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL reached 69% during the first quarter, up 5 points year over year. GM’s sales in the segment were up 10%.
  • The Cadillac Escalade had its best first quarter since 2007, with a 7% sales increase.
In another sign of robust economic growth, commercial customers have been upgrading and expanding their fleets. GM delivered its best commercial sales quarter in nearly three years with sales velocity at the end of the quarter reaching a 15-year high. In the commercial market, sales of full-size pickups were up 5%, compact SUVs up 131% and mid-size pickups up 23%.

Total first-quarter deliveries of the Chevrolet Low Cab Forward were up 48% compared to a year ago. The Chevrolet Silverado medium duty line, which is a popular choice for upfitters, was up 23%.

Fleet sales, which were 24% of GM total sales in the first quarter, grew 10% year over year, with commercial and government deliveries up 14% and 18%, respectively. Chevrolet Tahoe sales to government customers increased 243%.

Electric Vehicle Production Ramps Up

The first quarter saw GM reach several milestones as the company scales EV capacity in North America to more than 1 million units by the end of 2025.
  • GMC’s launch of the HUMMER EV is going according to plan, with early production focused on satisfying orders of the launch edition.
  • Production of the Chevrolet Bolt EV and Bolt EUV will resume on April 4. Chevrolet dealers continue to repair customer vehicles and recently resumed deliveries of some completed Bolt EV and Bolt EUVs in inventory.
  • Production of the Cadillac LYRIQ began on March 21, nine months ahead of the company’s original target. Cadillac will begin taking orders for future editions on May 19.
General Motors (NYSE:GM) is a global company focused on advancing an all-electric future that is inclusive and accessible to all. At the heart of this strategy is the Ultium battery platform, which powers everything from mass-market to high-performance vehicles. General Motors, its subsidiaries and its joint venture entities sell vehicles under the Chevrolet,Buick,GMC,Cadillac, Baojun and Wuling brands.

Thanks for sharing. Wow... I wonder if the supply restraints had effect on these numbers. Seem like some still do really good but others suffer. Despite its near obsolete RX350 still sells. New option on MDX didn't seem to help much if any. Any idea why Q7 dropped so much?

Woodcliff Lake, NJ – April 1, 2022… BMW of North America today reported Q1 sales results for the BMW and MINI brands in the U.S.

BMW Brand
In the first quarter of 2022, BMW brand sales in the U.S. totaled 73,714 vehicles, a 3.2% increase from the 71,433 vehicles sold in the first quarter of 2021. BMW Sports Activity Vehicles built at the company’s U.S. plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina (X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7) performed particularly well in Q1, accounting for 57% of total sales.

MINI Brand
MINI brand sales in the U.S. totaled 6,876 vehicles in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 9.4% vs the 6,285 vehicles sold in the first quarter of 2021.

BMW has already celebrated several milestones in the first quarter of the year, including the world premiere of the fully electric BMW iX M60 at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and the debut of the newly updated BMW 8 Series at the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. The all-new, fully electric BMW iX and BMW i4 also began arriving in showrooms during the latter part of the quarter.

“2022 is shaping up to be an exciting year for BMW in the U.S.,” said Sebastian Mackensen, president and CEO, BMW of North America. “As we continue to manage through the headwinds caused by ongoing supply chain bottlenecks, I’m happy to say

that we’ve been able carry the sales momentum of 2021 into the new year. We’ve also successfully launched two new electric vehicles, which are perfect for the U.S. market and, with more fully electric models coming later this year, you can already see our company’s electrification strategy taking shape.”
