2019 U.S Large Luxury Car Sales Analysis
Report Updated: With all 2019 Sales Data on January 3rd, 2020
Top Level US Reports: By Manufacturer / By Brand / By Model / Best Sellers
Large luxury car sales, like most other car segments, failed to see strong sales in both the month of December and 2019 as a whole. The segment saw sales slip considerably.
When you look at the month of December alone, you’ll see that the segment was down by about 2,600 when compared with the same month’s sales from 2018. Look at the entire year of 2019, and you’ll see that the segment was down by about 24,000 units.
Leading the pack in terms of sales volume was the Tesla Model S. It saw sales drop both in the month of December and in the whole year. The same can be said of the second-place model, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The third-place model was the BMW 7-Series. It saw sales drop in December, but it saw a small rise in sales for 2019 as a whole.
We expect the segment to continue to see sales drop overall in 2020. However, there may be some sales increases for particular models like the Audi A8 and the Kia K900 both of which saw decent rises in sales for the year.
Data will trickle in throughout the day with the numbers being finalized by EOD. GCBC is also happy to announce that we will be adding quarterly sales reports and comparisons in addition to monthly sales comparisons beginning this quarter. We will also be adding monthly sales tables and charts to the mix as well.
Note: FCA US LLC will end its practice of reporting U.S. and Canada sales on a monthly basis following June results. FCA US and FCA Canada will report monthly sales for May and June. The first quarterly report will occur on October 1, 2019, covering the months of July, August, and September.
