Lincoln’s car sales continue to drop as consumers move away from sedans in favor of crossovers, SUVs, and pickups. While the MKZ continues to lead all Lincoln sales from a volume perspective, it was down nearly 15% in June and is down nearly 20% through six months. The MKS was down nearly 13% and is down 18% through the first half.
Despite another down month from the MKT, Lincoln’s utilities thrived in June. The MKC led the pack with a solid 1,947 units sold, bringing its first-half total to 11,332 units. The MKC was followed by the MKX with 1,936 units sold. The reason for the 9.7% increase: Lincoln opening up sales for the all-new 2016 MKX.
Also having another great month was the Navigator, which moved 999 units for a 38.6% year-over-year improvement. To date, Lincoln has sold nearly 60% more Navigators in 2015 with a total of 5,839 delivered.
