Data Spotlight by Dagney Faulk, PhD

September Vehicle Sales

Motor vehicle retail sales are steadily increasing from April’s low. September 2020 sales reached just over 16.9 million vehicles, up 87 percent from April but still 4.0 percent lower than September 2019. Light weight trucks (including SUVs and minivans) are currently 75 percent of total vehicle sales and is the only category to show a year-over-year increase in sales.
