In the USA, sales of new cars improved by 6% in October 2014, with an increase of more than 70,000 units compared to October 2013. The significant success was driven by the increase in sales of several popular cars in America, including the Toyota Camry, which saw a 14% increase, and the most in-demand SUV in America - the Honda CR-V, which saw a 30% jump in sales.
For the third month in a row, full-size SUVs from GM have outsold the Ford F-Series. In total, Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, and Dodge Ram account for 11.5% of all cars sold in the United States in 2014, compared to 11.3% during the first ten months of 2013.
The Cherokee was the best-selling Jeep model for the second month in a row. Thus, Jeep and Ram pushed Dodge to third place among Chrysler Group entities. Currently, Jeep is the fastest-growing brand in the USA, excluding Maserati.
Among the cars that were on sale in October of last year, the highest sales growth in October 2014 were seen in:
- Kia Sedona (up to 252%)
- BMW 7 Series (up to 170%)
- Nissan NV200 (up to 102%)
- Honda Fit (up to 83%)
- Hyundai Tucson (up to 78%)
On the other hand, the lowest figures among vehicles that are still actively sold (but not necessarily in stock) were for the BMW X6, Mercedes-Benz CLS, Audi TT, Acura RLX, Porsche Cayenne, Jaguar XJ, Nissan Quest, Volkswagen CC, and Mercedes-Benz CLA.
Speaking of brands, traditionally, the top-selling brand is Ford, with almost 2 million cars sold in 10 months, followed by Chevrolet with 1.6 million. Toyota comes in third with 12.5% market share and steady growth, followed by Nissan with just over a million cars sold. A reshuffle occurred in the fifth position, as a result of successful model lineup additions, Jeep displaced the ambitious Korean brand Hyundai.
