Nissan Titan: 142 percent increase
Certainly, no one is buying a Frontier, so Titan sales should be higher. The new design for the Nissan Titan is a winner and the numbers are showing it. Its new athletic look, available Cummins diesel engine, and hardy durability make it more desirable than ever before, but still nowhere close to the Big 3 mainstream trucks where sales are concerned.
In 2016, Nissan rolled 21,880 new units out of U.S. showrooms. In 2017, that number increased by 141.9 percent to 52,924. Let’s see if Nissan can close the gap even further in 2018.
Nissan Armada: 154 percent increase
The Nissan Armada was a very dated, bulky full-sized SUV with 2015 models selling until midway through 2016. Then, sales took off when the redesigned Armada was released. It went from hulking behemoth to a muscular, gorgeous athlete, and shoppers took notice.
It’s still built with a 390-horsepower 5.6-liter V8, but everything else is more refined. Chrome air vents, available perforated leather seats, LED headlights and taillights all point to an upward tick in sales.
The Nissan Armada sold 14,035 units in 2016 and 35,667 units in 2017. That represents a 154.1 percent sales increase year over year.
Audi A5: 155 percent increase
Whether it was the 2016 Audi A5 pre-facelift or the redesigned 2017 model year, sales were strong in 2016 for Audi’s mid-range midsize luxury car. The model includes a sportback sedan, a cabriolet and a coupe. A 252-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and your choice of manual or automatic transmission makes the Audi A5 thoroughly enjoyable. The high degree of base-trim tech helps too.
In 2016, the Audi A5 sold just 8,354 units. That number more than doubled for 2017, climbing up to 21,301. It’s a year-over-year increase of 155 percent.
