April 2022 National Auto Sales Results And Incentive Spending

Written by Jerry Reynolds | May 4, 2022 3:54:37 PM

April was a rough one for the automakers, as the microchip shortage continues to have a death grip on automotive manufacturing.  Of all the car companies that still report on a monthly basis, only Genesis showed an increase, but that is more due to a lack of Genesis sales in April 2021.

April of 2022 was off a little more than 21% from April of 2021.  Honda was off the most, down 41%.  Mazda was off the least, down just 3.3%.

I also give you below the incentive spending by automaker, which is down substantially from April of 2021.  The average incentive spending per car for last month averaged $1,466 per vehicle.  That’s down 55% in just a year or $1,472 per vehicle less. Hyundai and Kia spent the least per vehicle, Stellantis spent the most.
