U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - July 2015 YTD
Ranked first among luxury vehicles in July, then, was the Lexus RX. Though RX sales slid 14%, the Lexus outsold the 3-Series by 535 units and the next-best-selling luxury utility vehicle by 1511 units.
For the record, combined sales of the 3-Series and 4-Series were down 13% to 10,919 units in July.

August 2015 • June 2015 • July 2014
For the purposes of the above list, premium brands include Acura, Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Infiniti, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volvo. Brands like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Lotus don't report specific monthly sales data. Bentley and Maserati only report brand totals. Buick has been excluded with a bunch of other automakers that don't sell vehicles with base prices higher than $40K.

$45,000 USD (before delivery) is an arbitrary borderline, but if GCBC was to follow this system of designating only expensive vehicles as luxury vehicles, adding approximately $15,000 to the average new car transaction price seemed like a fitting place to begin. Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $45,000 - M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically - but in the case of the second list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced at $32,750, as would be the case with the new BMW 320i, which costs less than a Honda Accord V6 Touring.
* BMW USA was choosing to combine sales figures of the 3-Series & 4-Series but gave that action up in June.

Top 15 Best-Selling Luxury Vehicles In America - July 2015
The Cadillac SRX was America's third-best-selling premium brand vehicle in July 2015, up from an eighth-place finish one month earlier and a fifth-place result in July 2014.
U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model - July 2015 YTD
Year-over-year, SRX volume was up 47%. Overall Cadillac sales, where the SRX accounted for 48% of the brand's volume, slid 7% last month. Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Acura all sold more vehicles last month than Cadillac.
BMW's 3-Series was the second-ranked premium brand vehicle in America in July 2015. In BMW's previous reporting methods, the 3-Series and 4-Series (which was down 14% to 3190 units in July) would have ranked first as a duo. But BMW now appropriately splits the duo's U.S. volume.
