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.
