U.S. new vehicle prices are expected to hit a record high in August on the back of strong demand despite rising interest rates, an industry report showed on Wednesday.

Average transaction prices are set to reach a record $46,259, an 11.5 percent increase from a year earlier, according to the report from auto industry consultants J.D. Power and LMC Automotive.
