Cox Automotive Predicts Slight Slowdown in 2026 New Vehicle Sales

Cox Automotive predicts a slight dip in new vehicle sales for 2026, with 15.8 million units expected, a 2.4% decrease from 2025. Retail sales may drop 1.5%, while fleet sales could fall 6.1%. Used vehicle sales are also projected to decline due to affordability pressures. Higher-income households may continue buying new cars, but lower-income individuals face inflation and high costs, leading to trade-downs. Economists see mixed signals, with cooling inflation and potential rate cuts, but slow job growth and policy uncertainties under the Trump administration. Despite these challenges, Cox maintains a positive outlook on the market. Checkout Solipillow.com
