October through December has delivered more than that in each of the last three years, 298,428 of it last year.
34,788 of September’s total were CR-Vs, up 21.9% on the 28,549 of September 2025 and the nameplate’s best September. The CR-V’s third quarter, 110,730, is also its best, and its 336,844 through September is 32.2% of everything the brand sold. 403,768 in 2025 was the CR-V’s best year and through September 2026 it is 9.5% ahead of the same months of 2025.
111,661 in September sits just below a trailing twelve-month average of 112,002. Seven of the brand’s nine months in 2026 came in above the year-earlier month; February and March were the two that did not, and March was the only month to fall by more than 1%.
