Nissan was up 0.5 percent while both Kia and Toyota took a 0.5 and 0.8 percent hit respectively. Regarding segment sales totals, Silverado and Sierra outsold the F-Series. Consider the Niro’s first full month sales totals. From nothing to the 4th best-selling Hybrid in the country! The Prius moved back ahead of the surprisingly strong Fusion Hybrid. Remember the Fusion Hybrid outsold the Prius last month for the first time in history. YTD, sales of the Prius (9,971) are ahead of the Fusion Hybrid (9,795) by just 176 vehicles. With the Ioniq entering the C-segment hatch hybrid space, the Prius may lose more sales than the midsize sedan based Fusion Hybrid. It will be a very interesting year based on the monthly and yearly sales results. February sales exceeded 17 million vehicles for the eighth straight month although February sales were off 0.01 million vs. February of 2016. The seasonally adjusted annual selling rate (SAAR) for light vehicles was approximately 17.5 million vehicles.
Hi All: I received the Feb. 2017 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid sales results of 534 and they are incorporated in the GM sales Highlights spreadsheet. The Malibu just missed the C-MAX within the Top 10 Hybrid ranking by just 142 vehicles. I received the Ford breakout just over an hour ago. Given GMs current advertising push on the award winning Bolt and Volt, the Malibu Hybrid is probably going to lag in the two's shadow. Wayne
Hi All: GM provided me with the 2016/2017 Malibu Hybrid sales since its launch last year have reached 5,235 through February of 2017. Wayne .
