April Sales Report - Various Markets

[YEH]

EU - 376
For comparisons sake - that's more than the GS (178) and Q50 (168), but less than the IS (713); this is where not having a hybrid variant yet hurts Stinger sales, esp. in the EU markets w/ extremely high CO2 tax rates.

Comparatively, the Stinger did better in Germany (92).

Which is more than the entire Lexus RWD car lineup - IS (25), GS (13), LC (9), RC (6) and LS (5) combined (58); can even add the Q50 (11) and Q60 (8) to the mix and the Stinger stills outsells them (92 to 77).

Canada - 205

A5/S5 -536 (includes coupe)
4 Series - 452 (includes coupe)
IS - 284
ATS - 214
Q50 - 193
G70 - 100
XE - 41

So, even accounting for the coupes, a bit behind the Germans, but fares pretty well compared to the other entry-level, lux entries (albeit in more traditional 4-door sedan form).

Australia - 184

C Class - 494
3 Series - 256
(Don't have figures for the 4 Series or A5/S5; note - many Australian buyers are still waiting on delivery).

South Korea - 463
K9 -1,222

G70 - 1,103
G80 - 3,132
EQ900 - 913 (aka G90)

The G70 did more than double Stinger sales, but there is strength in the Genesis brand (as can be seen in G80 sales), altho, seems like the EQ900 took a hit from the launch of the new K9.

Also, the Korean market tends to be on the conservative side, so the more conservative sheetmetal of the G70 and the 4-door sedan bodystyle is more appealing to the locals.

So, 1,228 in sales for the Stinger on top of the 1,378 in US sales - altogether comprising 2,606 in sales for what are presumed to be the 5 largest markets for the Stinger (the Middle East may be a significant market for the Stinger as well).

Thanks for putting that together, interesting! Where did these figures come from please? Also, do the figures give a more detailed breakdown of 'EU' on a county by country basis?

And from what I've seen on social media, it seems the Stinger is really popular in Russia.

 

[YEH]

The Swiss bought a whopping 34 Stingers last month.

While that may not seem like much, it is for the size of the market and being a new model/import which isn't exactly CO2 tax friendly.

In comparison, the venerable Mustang sold 24 units.

Infiniti sold 1 Q60 (doesn't seem they sold any Q50) and Lexus sold 1 IS.

In a comparable sized market, Austria, only 9 Stingers were sold in comparison (likely has to do w/ CO2 tax rates).

Thanks for putting that together, interesting! Where did these figures come from please? Also, do the figures give a more detailed breakdown of 'EU' on a county by country basis?
