– El Civic encabeza un importante mes para las ventas de autos Honda, estableciendo un récord de octubre con un aumento de 15 por ciento
– El totalmente nuevo Accord 2018 ayuda al auto mediano de mayor venta en los Estados Unidos a obtener un mes fuerte
– El Honda Pilot sube 18.5 por ciento, favorecido por el mayor volumen de producción
– El Acura MDX tiene un sólido mes con ventas de 5,287 basado en una mayor producción
TORRANCE, California, 1 de noviembre de 2017 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — American Honda Motor Co., Inc. hoy informó ventas de octubre de 127,353 vehículos Honda y Acura, un aumento de 0.9 por ciento en comparación con octubre de 2016. Con fuertes ventas de automóviles de pasajeros, la División Honda informó un aumento de 1.2 por ciento con ventas de 114,655. Las ventas de la División Acura disminuyeron ligeramente a 1.3 por ciento con 12,698 vehículos vendidos.
Honda
Honda generó otro mes sólido en que tomaron la delantera las ventas de automóviles de pasajeros. El Civic volvió a superar al mercado con otro aumento de dos dígitos mientras que el Accord, fortalecido por el debut del totalmente nuevo modelo de 2018, subió 4.7 por ciento en octubre. La mayor producción del Pilot también pagó dividendos a medida que subían las ventas un 18.5 por ciento para el mes. En la línea de camiones, el escaso suministro de las versiones del modelo clave detuvo el crecimiento de ventas.
- Las ventas de automóviles Honda subieron un 6.3 por ciento en octubre, con 60,283 unidades vendidas.
- Las ventas del Civic aumentaron un 15 por ciento con ventas de 30,319 para el mes, un récord de octubre.
- El Accord registró ventas de 26,740, una suba de 4.7 por ciento con el debut del totalmente nuevo modelo de 2018, quedando por ser lanzadas las variantes 2.0T y Hybrid.
- Las ventas del Pilot subieron fuertemente por segundo mes consecutivo en octubre, un 18.5 por ciento más altas con ventas de 10,285.
“Con el empleo por parte de importantes competidores de descuentos agresivos y fuertes incentivos aun en nuevos modelos, Honda está continuando con el ímpetu de una línea de productos robusta impulsada por el totalmente nuevo Accord”, dijo Jeff Conrad, vicepresidente sénior de la División de Automóviles de American Honda. “A medida que continúa el lanzamiento del nuevo Accord de 2018, nos centramos en un buen final para 2017 y un cuarto año consecutivo de ventas récord”.
Acura
Las ventas de Acura fueron encabezadas por el MDX, que subieron nuevamente mientras se beneficiaba de un mayor volumen de producción con el cambio total de la producción a la planta East Liberty en Ohio. Y, aunque las ventas de sedanes y el RDX experimentaban el desafío de los incentivos agresivos de competidores, el NSX tuvo su mejor mes de ventas desde que salió a la venta en 2016, con un aumento de 30 por ciento en octubre.
- Las ventas del MDX subieron un 4.7 por ciento en octubre, con 5,287 unidades vendidas.
- Las ventas del RLX están aumentando, con una importante contribución del RLX Sport Hybrid a medida que este sigue logrando el reconocimiento. El RLX subió 6.5 por ciento con ventas de 99 unidades.
- Las ventas del ILX aumentaron un 2.6 por ciento, con ventas de 1,025 vehículos.
“Nos complace ver que el mayor inventario a partir de la mudanza de la producción del Acura MDX resulta rápidamente en ventas más fuertes”, dijo Jon Ikeda, vicepresidente y gerente general de la división Acura. “Con la salida al mercado del rediseñado RLX en los próximos días luciendo una fuerte expresión de la nueva dirección de diseño de Acura, querremos cerrar 2017 con ventas de sedanes más fuertes”.

Honda delivered another strong month with passenger car sales playing the lead role. Civic outpaced the market again with another double-digit gain while Accord, strengthened by the debut of the all-new 2018 model, gained 4.7 percent in October. Increased production of Pilot also paid dividends as sales climbed 18.5 percent for the month. Elsewhere in the truck lineup, tight supplies of key model trims checked sales growth.

Acura sales were led by MDX, which gained again as it benefitted from higher production volume with the complete shift of production to the East Liberty Plant in Ohio.
