The enduring nature of the microchip shortage and port congestion issues continue to constrain the entire industry, but we are encouraged by the record sales of #honda models where we have adequate inventory,” said Dave Gardner, executive vice president of National Operations at American #honda. “We appreciate the patience of our customers as our associates, our suppliers and our dealers continue working to supply #honda and Acura products to meet their needs.” 

BRAND REPORT 

Sales Highlights

Despite ongoing, industrywide supply issues that slowed September sales, #honda posted solid 3rd quarter sales results led by strong demand for light trucks. Sales of the red-hot Civic Sedan limited only by single-digit days supply.    

  • HR-V and Passport post all-time best sales in all three quarters in 2021; while Pilot posts its best third quarter since 2018.
  • CR-V Hybrid remains strong while supply issues constrain petrol model.
  • Sales of #honda electrified vehicles set a new annual sales mark (82,446) during third quarter; Insight hybrid sedan set a September sales record.
  • Civic Hatchback went on-sale in late September, to further bolster the Civic lineup, with first-ever U.S. production (Indiana) to boost sales volume.

Model Notes

All-new 2022 #honda Civic continues to set the standard for small car safety with the highest possible rating from IIHS: TOP SAFETY PICK+.

The refreshed ‘22 Passport launching later this year, demonstrates its true off-road capability with a more rugged exterior design and a new TrailSport edition, the new halo for #honda light trucks.
