  • Accord, Civic, CR-V and Odyssey are America's best-selling vehicles in their respective segments to individual car buyers in 2016
  • Honda has America's most popular car, SUV and minivan for 4th straight year
  • Honda is fastest growing automaker in retail sales

With just more than a week remaining in 2016, #honda is assured of having the 1 and 2 best-selling cars, the 1 SUV and 1 minivan in America with individual car buyers, the company announced today. American #honda, including the #honda and Acura brands, is the fastest growing automaker1 in the U.S. in retail sales, according to data from Automotive News.

Highlights of Honda's projected year-end retail-sales achievements:

  • Civic will post the all-time best sales performance in its 44-year history, making Civic America's best-selling car with individual car buyers.
  • Accord will post a fourth straight year of retail sales leadership among midsize cars. 
  • CR-V will post a seventh straight year of sales gains and further cement its position as America's best-selling SUV over the past 21 years.    
  • Odyssey will be the best-selling minivan with retail buyers for a seventh straight year. 
  • Civic, CR-V and Accord will be the three highest retail-selling vehicles in the #auto industry after full-size pickups and will combine for sales of more than 1 million units for the fifth straight year in 2016. 

"We want to thank our customers for the trust they've placed in #honda, which is the basis for everything we do," said Jeff Conrad, senior vice president and general manager of the #honda Division.  "Retail sales are the results of customers voting with their wallets and pocketbooks, and we think that's the only true measure of customer demand and product appeal."

Total #honda Division sales are up 4.5 percent through the end of November to 1,333,253 #honda cars and light trucks, as the brand prepares to post a third straight year of record sales.  Honda will continue its momentum into the new year as the strong cadence of new models continues in 2017 with the launch of a redesigned Odyssey; the Si Coupe, Si Sedan and Type R variants of the tenth-generation Civic; and the introduction of the Clarity Battery Electric and Clarity Plug-In Hybrid and more.
