Genesis Sales Numbers

[StangKiller]

Found some data online. This doesn't specify 2014 vs. 2015 sales so a bit hard to interpret. However, they do specify that the 2015 Genesis finished up more than 50% for the month of October.

October 2014: 2325
October 2013: 1944

September 2014: 2248
September 2013: 2926

August 2014: 3029
August 2013: 2947

July 2014: 2990
July 2013: 2842

June 2014: 3109
June 2013: 2938

May 2014: 3437
May 2013: 2767

Thoughts?

One thing that is a little weird is that Genesis sedan and coupe sales are combined, even though they are two completely different cars.

 

[LA Genesis]

From what I see on the road Genesis is not selling well in my area at all. Elantras and Sonatas are selling in big numbers. Just my opinion.

The 2015 Genesis is in the Luxury category and fit a niche below Equus so can't expect huge numbers like other models.

I have definitely seen 3 or 4 '15 Sonatas per '15 Genesis, but that's totally expected. "Deal tracker" type places seem to be showing rather short average times on dealer lots. With the combined numbers it may be the aging coupe that's selling slowly; hard to tell.

I live in NJ (very densely populated state - several big Hyundai dealers within a 10-20 mile radius) and I've seen maybe 8 Genesis sedans on the road since I picked mine up in late June - 4 of those are with a neighbor a block away who keeps swapping his out every month or so (must be a dealer) - so far I've seen the following in his driveway:

- Montecito Blue 3.8 AWD
- White 5.0
- Black 5.0
- Black 3.8 AWD

Hyundai US combines the Genesis Sedan and Coupe sales for some weird reason. Canada is able to separate their figures.

YTD, the Genesis is the 3rd best selling midsize RWD luxury sedan in the US (4,200) after the 5 Series and E Class.

Basically doubling sales from the prior yr (and tripling sales for Feb. - that's what the addition of AWD does during the harsh winter months, altho one has to take into account the age of the 1G Genesis last Jan/Feb).

Canada YTD - 283 (which is more than 5x what the GS has sold in Canada - 52)

 

[jimb100]

Press release I saw stated that a little over 24,000 2015 Genesis were being recalled.

Great to hear that!

Actually, this is incorrect. The 2015 Genesis (sedan/coupe) U.S. sales are not categorized under the Mid-sized luxury data along with the MB E-Class or BMW 5 series. Only in Canada are the Genesis sales listed with both the Mid-size luxury group & Large car group.

Current 2015 YTD sales for the Genesis in the U.S. (Hyundai combines both Genesis coupe & sedan in the U.S.) is 5366 & are listed under the Large Car category.

[Aquineas]

The Hyundai Equus is listed as a mid-sized luxury car?

It is correct and I'm well aware that Hyundai USA doesn't split out the coupe.

As you stated - the combined sales for the US YTD is 5,366.

I'm talking about just the sedan which, as I had stated, is at 4,200.

And really, I woudn't take GCBC as any real indicator of segmentation as it is all over the place (places the Equus in the mid lux category).

"I'm talking about just the sedan which, as I had stated, is at 4,200."

Could you provide the link or data which reflects YTD Genesis sedan only sales in the U.S market?


"And really, I woudn't take GCBC as any real indicator of segmentation as it is all over the place (places the Equus in the mid lux category)"

Outside of U.S. EPA guidelines, (which lists the Genesis sedan as a Large Car) there are no other certified classification for automobiles by segment, which explains the different variances in segment sales data from source to source as you've mentioned with GCBC. So with the Genesis, it's not only considered and listed as a mid-sized sedan by some, but also a full sized sedan by others.
