American Honda Motor April Sales

Sales of the 2014 Honda CR-V helped American Honda’s April sales climb 1.1 percent.

American Honda Motor has announced that combined sales of Honda and Acura vehicles totaled 132,456 in April, resulting in a 1.1 percent year-over-year increase. Honda Division also posted a 1.1 percent increase with 118,334 units sold, thanks to the strength of their CR-V, Accord, and Civic models.

“After a few truly chilling winter months, it’s great to see the warmer spring weather begin to liberate our customers and spark record sales of CR-V and solid sales results across the lineup,” said Jeff Conrad, Honda division senior vice president and general manager. “More than any other automaker our success is based on one customer at a time going down to their Honda dealer to purchase a new vehicle, and in April, we see the power of our retail sales strategy at work.”
