SUVs continued their roll last month, racking up over 400,000 sales versus July 2022. That represents 64,000 more sales than a year ago, and remember, these numbers only represent the automakers that report sales monthly.
Toyota RAV4 edged out the Honda CR-V, but CR-V has some momentum with sales up last month 52%, while the RAV4 was virtually flat. For the year, the RAV4 has a 28,000-unit lead over CR-V so I don’t see the CR-V overtaking RAV4 for the year, although it will likely be a closer race than years past. The Ford Bronco Sport and Ford Bronco moved up to the 5th and 6th position.
On the bottom of the list is the Mazda MX-30, Mazda’s failed first attempt at an all-electric. Next to the bottom is the Hyundai Nexo fuel cell vehicle, in spite of 0% for 72 months, discounts of $30,000 (yes, $30,000) a $15,000 pre-paid credit card for fuel, and the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit.
