Honda, Acura Set New March Sales Record
2022 Acura MDX Advance
Though it was clear the automotive industry was quickly bouncing back to pre-COVID shutdown levels of sales, we didn’t think it would take less than a year for manufacturers to set new records. And, yet, American Honda and American Acura have reported a new March record for total vehicle sales, with nearly 150,000 vehicles sold already.
Last year’s shutdown, which began at the end of March, skews the year-over-year statistics, but even taking those into account, Honda and its luxury subbrand have plenty to rejoice over. For example, Honda sold 6,091 units of the Ridgeline pickup truck, a new March record and the truck’s best monthly performance since 2005.
