Top 15 Best-Selling Luxury Vehicles In America - March 2017

2017+BMW+X3
The Lexus RX took a 2% hit in March 2017, but America's best-selling luxury vehicle in 2016 once again leads the luxury sales race through the first-quarter of 2017. The Lexus RX outsold its nearest rival, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, by 1424 units in March. The second-ranked SUV/crossover was 3050 sales abaft.


U.S. Vehicle Sales By Model - April 2017 YTD



Mercedes-Benz, the leader of luxury auto sales in 2016 and in 2017 Q1, was outsold in March by BMW, where sales rose 3%. Thank the X3, ranked third overall, for much of that increase. BMW X3 volume grew 43%, or nearly 2000 units, in March 2017. With 3-Series  and 5-Series sales flat and surging X5 volume assisting, BMW finished March nearly 2000 sales ahead of Mercedes-Benz.

$50,000 USD (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, upgraded in 2016 from $45K last year by $5K, but if GCBC was to follow this system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, adding approximately $20,000 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, RS, 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.
