US New Vehicle Sales In Q3 Could Remain Flat Or Fall Marginally, Say Experts, Led By Declines At GM, Toyota, Stellantis
US New Vehicle Sales In Q3 Could Remain Flat Or Fall Marginally, Say Experts, Led By Declines At GM, Toyota, Stellantis
Market research firm Automotive consultant Cox Automotive sees new vehicle sales dip by about 2% in the U.S. in the third quarter while JD Power expects it to remain flat as compared to the third quarter of 2023.
汽車顧問Cox Automotive預計美國第三季度新車銷量將下降約2%，而JD Power預計與2023年第三季度相比將保持不變。
What Happened: Cox said last week that it expects 3,897,112 vehicles to be sold, 2% lower than the third quarter of last year when 3,979,779 new vehicles were sold. The drop in sales, Cox said, will be spurred by sales decline at General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM), Toyota Motor, and Stellantis (NYSE:STLA).
Cox表示上週預計將賣出3,897,112輛車，比去年第三季度的3,979,779輛新車低2%。Cox稱，銷售下滑將受通用汽車公司（NYSE:GM）、豐田汽車和斯泰蘭蒂斯（NYSE:STLA）的銷售下降推動。
Cox, however, expects General Motors to lead sales in the country with 648,043 vehicles sold, seconded by Japanese automaker Toyota Motor who Cox expects to sell 547,460 vehicles. Honda, Cox said, will see sales rise by 10.7% to 375,281 units, making it the fifth best-selling brand in the country.
然而，Cox預計通用汽車將成爲該國銷量領軍，銷售648,043輛車，日本汽車製造商豐田汽車排名第二，預計銷售547,460輛車。Cox表示，本田的銷量將上升10.7%，達到375,281輛，使其成爲該國第五大暢銷品牌。
Market research firm JD Power, meanwhile, expects new vehicle sales to touch 3,882,600 units in the quarter, marking a 0.2% increase from the corresponding period last year.
市場調研公司JD Power同時預計本季度新車銷量將達到3,882,600輛，較去年同期增長0.2%。
"September sales volumes will be lower than a year ago because of a calendar quirk that saw the Labor Day holiday weekend fall into the August sales month. This boosted August's sales but will diminish September's sales from a year ago," Thomas King, president of the data and analytics division at JD Power, said.
「9月份銷量將低於去年同期，因爲日曆問題導致勞動節假期週末落在8月銷售月份。這提高了8月的銷售，但將減少9月的銷售與去年同期相比，」JD Power數據與分析部門總裁托馬斯·金說。
EVs In Q3: With regard to EVs, discounted transaction price balanced lack of interest, JD Power vice president of electric vehicle practice Elizabeth Krear said.
關於電動汽車，在Q3中，折扣交易價格平衡了對興趣缺乏，JD Power電動汽車實踐副總裁伊麗莎白·克里爾表示。
"The contradiction of lower interest and higher sales will lead many to ask, 'How can that be?' The answer is simple: incredibly discounted transaction prices. Buyers are always looking for a deal, and what they're paying now for an EV—thanks in part to federal incentives—is less than the comparable segment average price in both mass market and premium segments," Krear said.
「收益較低和銷量較高之間的矛盾將導致許多人問，『這是如何可能的？』答案很簡單：極具折扣的交易價格。購車者總是在尋找優惠，現在他們爲電動汽車支付的價格——部分要歸功於聯邦激勵計劃——低於大衆市場和高端市場的相應平均價格，」克里爾說。
Cox now expects Tesla Inc.'s sales in the U.S. to be 152,829 for the third quarter, 2.4% lower than the corresponding quarter of 2023.
Cox現在預計特斯拉公司在美國第三季度的銷量爲152,829輛，比2023年同期下降2.4%。
