Encore sales were up 25% at retail and 10.2% overall, giving Buick’s best-seller its 30th consecutive month of year over year growth. Buick moved 6,091 Encores overall in June, more than the combined sales of the four cars in its lineup. Through the first six month of the year, Encore sales are up 19.2% at a total of 36,421 units.

While the Encore was both the only vehicle in Buick’s lineup to post year-over-year increases in June and the only vehicle in the lineup to deliver positive sales movement at the halfway point of the year, it was not the lone bright spot for the brand.

Sales of the Cascada continue to excel, hitting 755 units in June and bringing its to-date total to 4,071 units. With a full sales month, sales of the Envision leapt to 1,437 units, outselling the Regal and nearly outselling the LaCrosse. Cumulative sales of the Envision total 1,526 units.
