Strong sales of the all-new Pilot and core Honda models kept Honda on track for an all-time annual sales record, with the Accord, Civic and CR-V on course to reach a combined one million units in sales for the third consecutive year.

Pilot sales climbed strongly, rising 19 percent on sales of 10,975 units putting the all-new Pilot on the verge of its best sales year since 2006.
Civic posted an 8.6 percent November increase on sales of 25,050 units, even as the production ramp up of the 2016 Civic Sedan continues at Honda plants in North America.
Accord posted a November increase of 1.2 percent to 25,566 units, boosting YTD 2015 sales to 320,501 units.
CR-V continued on pace as the industry’s best-selling SUV, with sales of 25,931 units in November pushing its 2015 total over the 300,000-unit mark for the third consecutive year.

“It is incredibly gratifying to see our customers embrace the all-new Pilot and Civic,” said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the Honda Division. “We are going to race to the finish in the effort to earn a record number of new customers this year.”

Acura’s athletic RDX set a new November record, climbing 7.4 percent on sales of 3,691 vehicles.
