Toyota continues to maintain a healthy lead over its competitors from Japan, with total sales of 202,973 units in May. That number represents an 87.3-percent increase over the 108,387 units sold the same month last year, when Toyota was still recovering from the earthquake that hit Japan. Honda was the second-best-selling Japanese automaker in May, gaining 47.6 percent with sales of 133,997 units. Nissan was third, with 91,794 total units sold for an increase of 20.5 percent.
Honda’s Hots:
Accord: Though it didn’t see the sales volume it enjoyed last month, the Accord was still strong in May, posting sales of 29,737 units for a gain of 74.7 percent over the same month last year. Though Camry sales continue to outpace Accord, Honda is preparing a next-gen model that can hopefully keep it in the midsize game.
Civic: The C-segment Civic was Honda’s volume leader in May, with sales of 33,490 units in May – up 82.6 percent over the 18,341 units sold in May 2011. Strong sales of the Civic hybrid contributed to that number, totaling 708 units for a 164.2-percent gain over the 268 units sold a year prior.
CR-V: The CR-V set a record for May at 25,186 units sold, up 54.4 percent over the 16,307 units sold the same month in 2011. As Honda’s third best-selling model this month, the compact crossover continues to be a bright spot in the brand’s lineup.
