Small Car Sales Figures In America - July 2013 YTD

2013 Chevrolet Spark blue
Small cars accounted for half of all Chevrolet passenger car sales in July 2013, up from 42% a year ago. This was driven in large part by the Cruze, which reported a 70% year-over-year increase, but Chevrolet also recorded its best Spark sales month in the model's 13-month history. 

The Spark is America's 60th-best-selling car through the first seven months of 2013, ahead of the Volkswagen Golf and 90 other nameplates.

Honda, meanwhile, generated 53% of its passenger car volume with the Civic, CR-Z, and Fit last month. Toyota relied on the Prius C, Corolla, Matrix, and Yaris for slightly less than one-third of its car sales. Hyundai-Kia emphasizes small cars, not just in terms of sales but as a percentage of their offerings: Accent, Elantra, Veloster, Forte, Rio, and Soul were responsible for 58% of the Korean manufacturer's July 2013 passenger car volume.

The best-selling Mini variant in July was the Countryman, which posted its second-highest-volume month in the model's history. Mini's five-pronged Cooper range - Hardtop, Clubman, Convertible, Coupe, Roadster - has outsold the Fiat 500 by 700 units through seven months. Fiat added 962 500L sales in July; a good thing, as Fiat 500 sales tumbled 24%. July marked the second consecutive decline and just the model's second drop since Fiat returned to North America.
