Acura
Less than two months on the market and without full supply of the three-model lineup at dealerships, the all-new 2015 Acura TLX luxury performance sedan sparked an 18.8 percent sales surge for the luxury brand, boosting division sales to 13,832 for September over the same month in 2013.** TLX sales were second only to the Acura MDX within the entire division, followed by another record performance by the RDX, with the luxury SUVs pushing Acura truck sales to a new September record.**
- The hot-selling new TLX posted sales of 3,884 in September to become Acura's best-selling sedan and second best-selling vehicle, already approaching segment leaders in only its first full month on the market.
- ILX sales were also up in September, adding 7.4 percent with sales of 1,464 units.
- Acura truck sales set a new September record, rising 6.8 percent on sales of 8,097 vehicles.
- Acura's RDX rose 6.9 percent to post its best-ever September for the brand on sales of 3,230 units.
