Small Car Sales In America February 2015 YTD

Sales of passenger cars declined in the United States in February 2015, but the large compact car segment posted 3% gains.

Thanks to big increases from mid-level players like the Mazda 3, Dodge Dart, and Volkswagen Golf and meaningful increases from the best-selling Toyota Corolla and the steadily improving Nissan Sentra, the compact car category overcame decreases from the Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Civic, Hyundai Elantra, and Volkswagen Jetta.

Subcompact sales, however, slid 11% despite an 81% Honda Fit improvement and continued growth from the top-selling Nissan Versa.

A hugely discouraging start to the year for the Chevrolet Sonic came as inventories surged: there were nearly 30,000 Sonics in stock at dealers at the beginning of February, enough for 216-day supply.

Overall GM car volume slid 21% in February 2015. But due to strong truck and utility vehicle sales, GMs total volume was up 4%.

GCBC isnt here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why youll see the Encore and XV Crosstrek are listed with small SUVs, too, and the Acura ILX shown with mainstream cars is also displayed with luxury cars... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
