Summary
June U.S. new-vehicle sales are forecast to climb 4.4% to 8%, even with gasoline near $4 a gallon, according to analysts.
Hybrid demand is driving the gain, helping Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Kia post stronger June results as buyers keep favoring fuel-efficient models.
GM is expected to lose share in June, while Stellantis and Nissan are seen posting second-quarter gains against that shift in consumer demand.
The June increase would cap a first half that analysts still expect to be weaker overall than 2025, underscoring uneven momentum across the U.S. auto market.
