The Honda Group sold 4.4 million vehicles in 2021
- The Honda group (Honda, Acura) sold 4.4 million light vehicles (PC+LUV) in 2021, up 1.4% compared to 2020 but down 14.5% compared to 2019. The Japanese manufacturer is still far from its 2018 record. Despite the absence of a real revival in 2021, Honda manages to break away sharply from the Ford group which removed sedans from its manufacturing program in North America, which has boosted Japanese sales in this segment (including Honda).
- Honda also still seems reluctant to electric motorization and this delay could be paid for in sales volume over the next few years. The Honda group will become the seventh largest manufacturer in the world in 2021, following the merger of PSA and FCA which has created the new fourth largest manufacturer (Stellantis).
- Among the Honda group's global sales, the Premium Acura brand (sold mainly in North America) recorded 180,545 sales in 2021. Acura remains very far from Lexus (760,000 sales) subsidiary of Toyota, but ahead of Infiniti subsidiary of Nissan.
- The Honda Group's global sales in 2021 break down as follows:
§ China remains its largest market, with 1.54 million sales, or 35% of its global sales.
§ The United States remains its second market, with 1.47 million sales, or 33% of its global sales.
§ Japan remains its third largest market, with 580,000 sales, or 13% of its global sales.
These three markets represent 81% of the Honda Group's global sales in 2021.
