Midsize Car Sales In America - April 2016 YTD

2015 Chrysler 200 interior
U.S. sales of midsize cars, down 4% in April 2016, were largely dragged down by sharp losses in Chrysler showrooms.

The 200's story is not a new one. A temporary shutdown at its Sterling Heights, Michigan, factory led to layoffs, the revelation that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' has no intention of developing the current car's successor, and acknowledgements of the 200's weaknesses from FCA's boss, Sergio Marchionne. 

No, the story is not a new one. There are simply more pages added to the book. U.S. sales of the Chrysler 200 fell 60% to only 7591 units in April 2016, a four-month high for the 200, but an 11,259-unit year-over-year loss.

Set aside the 200 from the overarching midsize equation and the picture isn't quite so gloomy. Yes, April sales of numerous competitors fell – rather sharply in some cases – but so too did numerous competitors rise quickly. Non-FCA midsize cars actually increased 2% in the United States in April 2016, and they're up by more than 3% so far this year.

Why? The new Chevrolet Malibu, together with the clear-out of the old Chevrolet Malibu, and growth from the Honda Accord, Hyundai Sonata, and Nissan Altima, is powering the midsize category forward.

Sort of. 

If you forget Chrysler's failings.

GCBC isn't here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you'll see the Outback and Venza listed with midsize SUVs, too... because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
