The US new car market saw a positive development in 2023, growing by 13% compared to 2022.
In total, more than 15,580,000 new cars were sold in the US in 2023. Of these, more than 78% were cars with SUV and pick-up bodies.
Americans are traditionally fond of their domestic products, so it is not surprising that the best-selling car in the USA is still the Ford F-150. It has held that title for many years and it doesn't look like it will lose it yet - in 2023 it sold 496,526 units.
Five models from Japan are among the ten best-selling cars in the US. The globally very popular Toyota RAV4 even finished in second place with 434,943 units sold.
On the contrary, European automakers did not make it into the TOP 10 at all. After all, in the past, many of them burned badly on the American market, and today mainly premium brands (BMW, Audi, Porsche, Mercedes or Land Rover) successfully sell their cars there.
