During November, the company presented a new sales report which, although it showed small variations compared to the previous year, reaffirms the strength of its offering.
The overall performance of the month did not generate concern for the company, which continues with accumulated figures in positive territory and a sales pace that clearly demonstrates the preference of the American public for its products.
A mixed November, but with a positive annual trend
Honda reported that overall sales increased when comparing the period between November 2023 and November 2024 with the most recent same period. However, if the analysis focuses solely on November 2024 vs. November 2025, the result shows a decrease of 13.4%.
Despite this, the brand maintains an optimistic view of market performance, as the annual balance remains favorable. In fact, Honda reached 91,582 units sold in November, a figure that contributes to a cumulative growth of 1.8% so far this year. This performance is even more significant considering that a large part of the industry continues to face production disruptions due to the semiconductor shortage.
Demand for light trucks—one of Honda's strongest segments—and for electrified models has offset these challenges and allowed the brand to maintain an upward trend.

This SUV registered 4,363 units sold in November 2025, representing a 50% increase compared to the same month in 2024.
Moreover, the Passport has achieved an impressive 73% year-over-year growth, demonstrating that the recently applied updates have managed to reconnect with American consumers. The brand highlights that the 2026 model arrives with a series of improvements focused on driving dynamics, performance, and personalization—factors that are driving its popularity.

The Honda CR-V remained the brand's best-selling model in November, reaching 29,421 units, driven especially by its hybrid versions, which accounted for 54% of those sales.
