2019 U.S Small Luxury SUV Sales Analysis
Report Updated: With October 2019 Data on November 1st, 2019
Top Level US Reports: By Manufacturer / By Brand / By Model / Best Sellers
The small luxury SUV segment had a good month in October when you compare it to this month last year. The segment hasn’t had as good of a time so far this year.
The segment was up by about 1,400 units for the month. When you look at the YTD numbers, you’ll see that the segment is actually down by about 11,600 units.
Leading the pack is the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. The vehicle saw a rise of over 25 percent in the month of October. When you look at the YTD numbers, the segment was up by about four percent. It was followed by the Audi Q5, which saw declines in sales for both the month and YTD. Rounding out the top three was the Lexus NX, which saw a two percent rise in sales for the month but a drove of over seven YTD.
It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the coming months. We doubt the segment can make up the deficit YTD, but it might come close if the sales increases for the monthly numbers continue.
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.
