The Honda Division recorded sales of 80,808.

- Acura light truck sales extended a remarkable run, setting a fourth straight monthly record.
- MDX also continued its exceptionally strong sales pace with a 64.7 percent increase for its best January ever.
- RDX claimed its 21st consecutive monthly record, adding 9.7 percent for another January record.
“Even the frigid January weather couldn’t stop the all-wheel-drive MDX and RDX from posting another record sales month,” said Jeff Conrad, vice president and general manager of Acura Sales. “Acura is starting the year on strong footing that will get even stronger when the RLX Sport Hybrid and all-new TLX luxury sport sedan go on sale later this year.”
