Most Popular Cars in America | Edmunds

These are the top selling cars in America for this year. The most popular car in your state might surprise you.

• The Toyota Camry is the only car that ranks in the top 10 most sold vehicles of 2022.
• The Tesla Model Y is the top-selling EV nationally and was in the top 5 selling vehicles in 5 different States.
• Contrary to popular belief, the Subaru Forester is not in the top five for sales in Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont.
• Chevy's Silverado was the top sold model in the U.S. this past year.
• Arkansas is the only U.S. State preferring the GMC Sierra over any other vehicle.

Interesting demographics

Of that list I'd take the Silverado or Sierra.

Going to cry fowl on the model Y sales. Should read, top selling EV in USA, and top 5 selling vehicles in 4 states with small volumes of vehicles sold.

Should read, top selling EV in USA, and top 5 selling vehicles in 4 states with small volumes of vehicles sold.

Or, not in the top 5 selling vehicles in 46 states.

no surprises, but why not bunch similar vehicles together, like the GM twins?

The coastal population centers buy small Toyotas, Cali buys Tesla and the rest of the country buys trucks.

Far and away, the cars I've seen the most often here for the last several years are white Tesla's and whatever colour Subaru Crosstreks.
Boring...

California makes sense for Tesla. The obvious being high fuel cost & distribution.

 

[grampi]

Kias and Hyundais must be selling like hotcakes. I see many more of those on the road than any other makes...

• The Tesla Model Y is the top-selling EV nationally and was in the top 5 selling vehicles in 5 different States.

Not really. It's had a good 1-2 year run almost entirely in California where there is a very "unique" customer base and infrastructure. "Most popular in America" is a total misnomer. It's done well, briefly. Still only represents something around 1% adoption outside of California, and less than 4% nationwide, in total, across all vehicles. The jury is still out on loyalty and longevity, particularly with studies that show 1 in 5 return their EV for a ICE.

20% of EV Buyers Go Back To Gas-Powered Vehicles

An independent study done by Nature Energy found that one-in-five or 20% of EV buyers switched back to gas-powered vehicles. It answered some reasons why but also raises other questions about the future of electric vehicles.

The jury is still out. But "most popular in America," no.

I was going to ask if you were in Washington, but you are in Washington JR or I am in lower Canada...It is the same.

Agreed, the GM twins are identical except with minor variations that can be labeled "differences in trim", basically different grills and dashboard. But then Ford will be upset that the F series is no longer the best selling truck in America.

There are stats, and then there are stats that matter. GM has been selling the most trucks recently.

Not that any of that matters to me anyway, I'm quite content with my truck despite being in solid third place for sales.
