Honda Cars Had a Great End to 2015

Now that we’re heading into the end of February it’s an ideal time to assess how Honda performed towards the end of 2015. The second half of 2015 was Honda’s best sales period in five years with 40,100 vehicles sold. Sales went up by a whopping 21% compared to the same period in 2014. The HR-V Jazz and the Honda Odyssey for sale were the top selling cars. Let’s take a closer look at how the year ended and how 2016 is shaping up.

The New HR-V Jazz Success

It’s fair to say that a great deal of Honda’s success in 2015 can be attributed to their strong new cars. The first of these to arrive was the HR-V Jazz that arrived in February 2015. This vehicle was already highly anticipated by the Australian public and strong sales figures followed. An Australian made HR-V commercial was released on Youtube, and it quickly became one of the top ten viewed ads on Google. Over the remainder of the year, sales continued to grow, with an even stronger uptake for the vehicle in the last six months of 2015. In total 10,889 HR-V Jazz models were sold throughout the year.

The Quiet Honda Odyssey Phenomena

The Honda Odyssey for sale in 2015 proved to be a tough act for other manufacturers to beat. Throughout the year, the Odyssey managed to top the people mover segment in every month except December. Although the launch of the Odyssey lacked some of the fanfare of its stablemate the HR-V it has been well received here.

The Best of the Rest

It may seem that everyone was looking to buy Honda Odyssey, HR-V and Jazz models. However, other Honda models performed very well. The sporty yet versatile Honda Jazz has always been a good selling model, and 9,845 of them were sold in 2015. The Honda CR-V was the first SUV model to be sold in Australia, and the latest version sold 8,608 models. However, the Honda experience extends well beyond simply selling cars, and the company achieved another positive endorsement. A survey carried out by J.D. Power showed that Honda dealerships in Australia ranked the highest for customer service satisfaction in the entire car industry.

Moving on in 2016

So, with all the success that Honda achieved by the end of 2015, it would be natural to wonder if they can improve upon it? The signs are very strong that Honda will have a great year in 2016. Firstly, there is the imminent arrival of the new model Honda Civic which should sell well here. Next up is the highly anticipated arrival of the stunning NSX supercar, which will not sell in high numbers, but it will stir up interest in the rest of the Honda fleet. Lastly, the sales figures for rest of the fleet have continued steadily into this year.
