Wow, that XT5 came out of nowhere (Don't notice them like I do RXs); it blitzed right past the MDX.

While we have the usual suspects at the top too, I was surprised to see the Q50 up in the Top 20, where the Audi A4 (I think its a solid car to lease) didn't even show up. I think Infiniti has done a tremendous amount to make it more affordable to lease than even the IS and Ze Germans.

RX and C-class at top of chart expected, but likely the XT5 numbers got a significant boost from fleet/rental sales.

Are the XT5 in fleets? I haven't noticed any because I see more RX and NX than most SUVs other than the Germans but I also think incentives have helped too, not that you can't get a good deal on a RX or NX either because they are selling well.

Its sales have also been ascendant since it replaced the SRX.

Fleetwise, Cadillac has been doing less this year but I'll surmise most have been the ATS or CTS

NX is doing a good job of selling for Lexus.

Very true. The NX is doing quite well. U.S. sales of the NX since inception:

2014 = 2,927
2015 = 43,764
2016 = 54,884
YTD 2017 = 51,931 (From Jan. thru Nov, I predict total sales for 2017 around 57,000)
Total = 153,506

I'm sure the NX is doing well around the world as well.

Yes--XT5 sells in huge numbers to rental fleets.

Yeah the NX now outsells the RDX which was unthinkable just a couple of years ago. So the Nx is now best selling in class!

 

[Trexus]

Lexus was able to finish the year with 59,341 NX vehicles sold. Wow! I predicted around 57K sold. 2018 so far has been the highest selling of NX's. Can the NX sell 60K units in 2018?

The GX did very well also ending the year with 27,190 units sold. Can the GX sell 28K units in 2018?

The LX did very well also ending the year with 6,004 units sold. Now that there is a two row LX at a lower price point can the LX sell 7,000 units in 2018?

And to think there is no NX Hybrid F-Sport.

And to think there is no NX Hybrid F-Sport.

i wonder if lexus will update non tnga vehicles with new hybrid powertrain.

i would guess not since they announced 300h powertrains built for highlander in the usa for 2019, when i guess new one is coming out.

Nevertheless, new 300h is pretty exciting for us outside th states, where larger powertrains are taxed to death
