demand / volume affecting revenue

“The increases in Premium Luxury revenue were partially offset by a decrease in new vehicle unit volume as a result of the prior year period benefiting from accelerated consumer demand in April 2025 following tariff-related announcements and a decrease in EV unit volume in the current year period due in part to the phasing out of EV tax credits at the end of the third quarter of 2025.”

demand / volume

“These were largely offset by a decrease in new vehicle unit volume primarily due to the prior year benefitting from accelerated consumer demand following tariff-related announcements.”
