Deutsche Bank has revised its 2025 U.S. auto sales forecast, lowering the Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rate (SAAR) to 15.4 million units, down from 16 million, due to tariff concerns. March's SAAR is projected at 16.9 million, reflecting a year-over-year growth of 4.5%, driven by a 38.4% increase in fleet sales, while retail sales are expected to decline by 1.6%. Despite a slight decrease in average transaction prices and incentives, strong sales are anticipated in April and May as consumers rush to purchase vehicles before potential price hikes.
