With a shutdown lasting from the end of March to early May, 2020 was a difficult year for every car manufacturer. But sales had rebounded by the fall season, and by the end of the year, brands like Honda had managed to recuperate some of their losses.
The Japanese automaker reports that in the United States, it sold 136,467 vehicles in December alone, and as before the pandemic, trucks and SUVs reigned king. American Honda’s truck division sold 87,634 vehicles, up 3.6 percent, led by strong performances by the CR-V and Pilot.
The CR-V ended the year as the fifth bestselling vehicle in the entire United States with 333,502 units sold, topping the 300,000 mark for the eighth consecutive year. In December 2020, it was up 5.6 percent on a volume basis compared to 2019.
