Dodge may hold the horsepower title, and the Blue Oval team awaits an all-new 2015 Mustang with bated breath, but it's the 2014 Chevy Camaro that was the best-selling muscle car in America in July. The totals from last month:
Now, the Challenger did achieve a July record with its sales performance from the previous month, but so did the 2014 Chevy Camaro. Its total was a new July benchmark for the new-generation models, which first debuted in 2010. Further, the 2014 Chevy Camaro helped drive overall Chevrolet sales to a 7.7 percent increase in the past month, representing 175,155 deliveries and plenty of assistance from its high-performance partner, the Chevy Corvette. Sales of the Chevrolet sports-car flagship shot ahead by 356 percent last month, when customers snapped up 3,060 units.
Also benefiting from brisk sales in July was the Chevy crossover/SUV lineup. The two-row Equinox and three-row Traverse both provided double-digit gains and then some, with the former selling 25,321 units, for a 36.8 percent jump in volume, and the latter lifting volume by 25.2 percent, with 9,533 sales. The pace has started to pick up for the Bowtie brand's all-new body-on-frame utilities, too. The Chevy Tahoe, for example, took advantage of a 51.5 percent surge in demand to deliver 10,783 units in July.
