Strong February for US luxury car sales

04/03/2016
Continuing a run of record sales, a number of carmakers have reported strong sales in February.

Porsche Cars North America sold a record 3,561 vehicles during the month, up 11.2% over February 2015.

Kia and Subaru also had record Februarys in terms of US sales, while the CEO of Mercedes-Benz USA commented on the strong first quarter. "As new core model lines like E-Class and GLS are introduced, we expect to set new records throughout the year,” said Dietmar Exler.

However, BMW Group in the US bucked the trend, with February sales of 25,337 vehicles, a decrease of 12.4% from the 28,921 vehicles sold in the same month a year ago.
