The Honda Pilot placed eight for sales in the United States last year, down 15.4 percent over the year before. In the other direction went the Subaru Ascent and Volkswagen Atlas , which posted notable increases of 126.3 percent and 36.6 percent, respectively, to 81,958 and 81,508 units, again respectively.

Here in Canada, the Honda Pilot placed 13th with 8,241 sales, while the Volkswagen Atlas sits just ahead of it, with 8911. In the two cases, these represented increases over 2018 (of 2.1 percent and 9.1 percent, respectively). As for the Subaru Ascent, its sales rose by 97.8%, though that still only represented 4,139 units.

As mentioned, the pandemic will play havoc with automotive sales figures for 2020, as it as with everything else. Drawing comparisons between models within a segment will still tell us a lot, but comparing to 2019 sales will be a futile exercise.
