American Honda Reports 2025 Sales Growth on Trucks and Hybrids
American Honda reports higher 2025 sales as light trucks and hybrid models lead growth despite supply challenges. See what shaped the year.
American Honda didn’t chase drama in 2025 — it played the long game. While the market wrestled with uneven demand and supply headaches, the brand doubled down on what actually sells in the U.S.: bold-looking light trucks and electrification that feels usable, not experimental. The result was its strongest year since 2021.
Light trucks ran the show. Honda pushed past the 900,000-unit mark for the first time, confirming that crossovers and SUVs now sit at the core of its business. As passenger cars lost traction, trucks carried the brand forward.
Electrification followed the same no-nonsense logic. Hybrid Civic, Accord, and CR-V models kept gaining ground, with the CR-V now selling mostly as a hybrid. The all-electric Prologue added a sharper edge, closing in on 40,000 sales in its first full year and instantly becoming Honda’s most visible EV in the U.S.
Some of the biggest surprises came from unexpected corners. Passport hit a new high, driven by demand for its TrailSport trims, while Odyssey ignored the minivan decline narrative and delivered its best performance in years.
Acura moved with quieter confidence. ADX and Integra brought new buyers into the fold, and as supply improved late in the year, MDX and RDX regained momentum after months of constraint.
The year-end wasn’t smooth. Microchip shortages and tight inventories weighed on fourth-quarter results, but the broader picture points to resilience, not retreat.
With the hybrid-electric Prelude now a finalist for the 2026 North American Car of the Year award, a refreshed Accord strengthening its mainstream appeal, and electrification gaining real scale, 2025 looks less like a peak and more like a launchpad for American Honda’s next move.
