U.S. Auto Sales Brand Rankings - December 2016 & Year End

2016 BMW X1 white
The possibility of record annual U.S. auto sales remained alive heading into December 2016, but an abbreviated sales month contributed to forecasts that called for a modest 2% decline in the final month of the year.

U.S. auto sales rose to an all-time record of 17.47 million units in calendar year 2015. Through the first 11 months of 2016, 15.85 million new cars, trucks, SUVs, crossovers, and vans had been sold in America.

December 2016 sales, however, were much stronger than anticipated. The forecasted 2% decline turned into a 3% year-over-year improvement, driving the calendar year's total up 0.3% to 17.5 million units, an all-time record performance for the industry.



Despite a steady downturn in U.S. sales of passenger cars, America's four top-selling utility vehicles all reported record annual sales, pickup truck volume rose nearly 6%, and minivan volume  grew by more than 6%. While General Motors, Ford Motor Company, Toyota Motor Corp. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles – America's four top-selling manufacturers – all reported fewer sales in 2016 than in 2015, the gains produced by Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Subaru, and Hyundai-Kia (all of which broke annual records) more than offset the losses by the biggest automakers.

December's 1.69 million sales, meanwhile, represented the highest-volume single month for the U.S. auto industry since before the recession. The seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 18.38 million units was the fifth-highest pace of all time according to Automotive News. Automakers accomplished this feat by boosting incentives to record December levels. The average discount on a new vehicle purchase in December rose 20%, year-over-year, to $3673 according to ALG.
