Monday, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) reported it ended 2025 with 1,430,577 vehicles sold, marking its best year since 2021 and a 0.5% increase over 2024.
The company achieved these gains despite shifting market conditions and a microchip shortage that limited inventories in the fourth quarter.
Honda brand sales totaled 1,297,144, up 0.4% from the previous year, with record sales of light trucks, which surpassed 900,000 units, and electrified models, which exceeded 400,000 units.
Acura sales also rose nearly 1% to 133,433, led by strong SUV performance and the success of the brand’s gateway models, the ADX and Integra.
December marked Acura’s best month since May as inventories recovered.
Top-performing Honda models included the Passport, which set a sales record of 55,231 units, with TrailSport trims accounting for 80% of the total.
Electrified models reached new heights, led by the CR-V Hybrid, Accord Hybrid, and Civic Hybrid, along with nearly 40,000 units of the Prologue EV sold.
CR-V sales surpassed 400,000 for the second consecutive year, with hybrids representing 54% of total sales.
HR-V and Pilot combined for over 270,000 units, while Odyssey posted its best sales since 2019 with more than 88,000 units sold.
Passenger cars reached nearly 390,000 units, led by Civic and Accord hybrids.
Initial shipments of the all-new Prelude began in December, with the hybrid-electric model also a finalist for the 2026 North American Car of the Year™ award.
The refreshed 2026 Accord arrives with enhanced styling, more standard technology, and a starting price under $28,500.
Acura’s 2025 sales gains were driven by its gateway models and SUV lineup.
The all-new ADX premium gateway crossover, which went on sale in March, topped 20,000 units for the year and captures around 30% of retail sales in its segment.
Integra, following a midcycle refresh, posted December sales of over 1,700 units, maintaining a lead in its segment with more than 35% retail share.
Improved inventory in December also helped the MDX and RDX achieve their best month since May, with the MDX just under 4,000 units and the RDX over 2,700 units.
ADX and Integra are attracting a new generation of premium buyers to Acura, and ADX joins Integra and MDX as the third current Acura model to earn a TSP rating from IIHS.
“Record sales of light trucks and electrified models helped achieve sales increases for the Honda and Acura brands in 2025, despite changes in market conditions and supply constraints,” said Lance Woelfer, vice president of Auto Sales at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “We’re grateful for outstanding collaboration across our purchasing, production and sales teams, helping overcome late-year microchip shortages to meet the needs of our customers.”
