Top 15 Best-Selling Luxury Vehicles In America - January 2016

2015 Lexus NX
Sharp Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3-Series U.S. sales declines in January 2016 allowed the Lexus RX to keep its hold on the top spot as America's luxury leader. RX sales rose 6% compared with January 2015 as the C-Class and now eighth-ranked 3-Series tumbled 19% and 31%, respectively.

The 3-Series wasn't even the most popular BMW in America last month. The 5-Series, up 13% to 3795 sales, outsold the 3er by 508 units. (BMW USA also sold 1832 copies of the 4-Series, a 3-Series offshoot, but 4-Series sales were likewise down 30% in January.)

The RX's climb came s Lexus also managed to increase sales of their new entry-level crossover. The NX was up 11% to 3133 units, fifth among premium utility vehicles and tops in the small luxury SUV/crossover race.

Despite the C-Class's slide and an accompanying 42% drop in E-Class sales, Mercedes-Benz was America's top-selling premium brand in January. 

Five of the 15 top-selling luxury nameplates were Benzes, including the GLK-replacing GLC and the M-Class-replacing GLE.

$50,000 USD (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, upgraded by $5K in 2016 from $45K last year, but if GCBC was to follow this system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, adding approximately $25,000 to the average new car transaction price seemed like a fitting place to begin. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 - M and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of the second list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced below that borderline.
