Continuing January’s trend, market strength was at the two far ends of the affordability scale, as entry-price cars and lower-cost CUVs posted big gains, while the same was true in most premium-price segments. The range of vehicles generally thought of as the bread-and-butter of the market, non-luxury compact and midsize cars, CUVs and SUVs, all recorded big declines. However, even when including lower-price vehicles, sales of non-luxury sedans and compact/midsize CUVs and SUVs were down 3.8% in January-February, which really is indicating a continued affordability issue – at least compared with pre-2020 (pandemic) history.
