• American Honda (AHM) posted sales of 130,074 units in March, and 336,830 units in the first quarter (Q1) of 2026, a strong result masked by a YoY comparison to March 2025, when consumers pulled ahead new vehicle purchases in anticipation of the impact of tariffs.

Executive Comment: Lance Woelfer, Vice President of Auto Sales, American Honda Motor Co., Inc:
“While the comparison to a year ago isn’t a good barometer for auto sales as the market saw significant consumer pull-ahead due to incoming tariffs, our sales performance is very strong with the Acura brand up year to date and Honda posting a strong month led by robust sales of both passenger cars and light trucks.”
