Red font indicates declining year-over-year volume
* Does not include Lamborghini
^ Excluding Sprinter: up 12.8% to 29,188 in April; up 9.0% to 107,344.
º total includes Automotive News estimates for a number of niche brands, including Tesla (1700 April sales, estimated).
Volkswagen's April decline was modest, at just 2.7%, but this decline occurred despite a tripling of Golf sales. Mazda's April increase was almost completely powered by the 6 and CX-5, as the 2, 3, 5, and MX-5 all posted decreases. Mitsubishi's modest 8216 sales represented the best April since the recession. Audi's April increase marked the 52nd consecutive month of year-over-year improvement for the brand in America. Subaru once again reported more than 40,000 monthly sales, with April's tally rising 18% to more than 47,000 units. Only the BRZ and non-WRX Imprezas declined. BMW reported a 6% loss across the brand's SAV lineup but still managed a 7% improvement across the board thanks to strong 3-Series sales. Volvo's struggles continue as the brand awaits the arrival of a new XC90 and as sales of the brand's top-selling car, the S60, plunge. Kia sales dipped slightly as the brand's cars – Rio, Forte, Optima, Cadenza, K900, Soul – all failed to match last April's pace. Sportage, Sedona, and Sorento volume improved. Mercedes-Benz was America's top-selling premium brand in April 2015, 2236 sales ahead of BMW. Mercedes-Benz leads BMW by 1900 units heading into May.
