U.S. Auto Sales Brand Rankings – May 2019 YTD

We will report May 2019 Automotive Sales beginning on Monday, June 3rd, 2019, beginning around 10 AM ET.

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.

Our Take Brand & Corporation Rankings

The sales numbers overall looked decent for the month of May. More models sold this month than last. However, when compared to the months before that, this month was not the strongest for the year so far.

Leading the way in terms of brands was Toyota. It saw a nearly two percent increase in sales for the month but was down roughly five percent drop in sales when you look YTD. It wasn’t the only brand the top four brands saw drops in sales YTD, though Nissan managed to squeak out a sales increase for the month. Ram, Tesla, and Genesis are all showing the largest growth. Ram sits firmly in fifth place over Hyundai.

In terms of the actual automakers, Toyota is at the top followed by FCA. Both saw a small rise in sales for the month. However, both are down YTD. It’s important to note that Ford and GM aren’t included here, and would be near the top of both the brand and corporate tables.

Automotive Data Disclosures

Important note: Both Ford, GM, and FCA have switched to quarterly reporting, making it more difficult to accurately gauge sales. We won’t have results to report for Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Ford, Lincoln, Jeep, Chrysler, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Dodge, and Ram until the end of each quarter.
