Top 10 Best-Selling Vehicles in the U.S.

The U.S. auto market is always competitive, but in 2024, a few models have stood out, showing strength in sales, innovative design, and consumer appeal. Let’s take a look at the 10 best-selling vehicles so far this year, with insights into what’s driving each one’s success.

10. Honda Civic – 129,788 units sold

Buyers are coming back to the Honda Civic, one of the most beloved sedans in the U.S. market. With a 35.7% increase in sales compared to the same period in 2023, the Civic has regained its popularity after Honda toned down the design of the current generation. This change seems to have paid off, attracting more consumers.

9. Nissan Rogue – 141,160 units sold

The Nissan Rogue may be considered a modest, middle-of-the-road SUV, but its sales are anything but average. Consistently ranking among the top sellers, the Rogue dropped to ninth place this quarter after being the sixth best-selling vehicle earlier this year. A small facelift for the 2024 model may help Nissan keep the Rogue in the top 10 by the end of 2024.

8. GMC Sierra – 148,785 units sold

The GMC Sierra has maintained steady sales, with a slight increase this year. The big news is the launch of the electric version of the truck, along with the Sierra HD AT4X AEV Edition, built for off-road adventures. Prices range from $38,000 for the basic 1500 model to nearly $100,000 for the electric Denali or diesel-powered HD Denali Ultimate.

7. Toyota Camry – 155,242 units sold

The Toyota Camry remains the best-selling sedan in the U.S. Now available exclusively as a hybrid, the Camry combines 225 or 232 horsepower with front-wheel or all-wheel drive, plus advanced driver-assistance systems. The model was in eighth place earlier in the year but has now moved up to seventh.

6. Ram Pickup – 89,417 units sold

Should the Ram Pickup be worried? Sales have dropped 20%, putting it far behind its main competitors. A facelifted version of the truck is expected at the end of 2024, but without a V8 engine, its reception may be mixed. The new 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine promises more power than the old Hemi, but will it be enough to reclaim market share?

5. Honda CR-V – 196,204 units sold

The new generation of the Honda CR-V, launched for the 2023 model year, has been a hit with consumers. With a 28% increase in sales, the CR-V has surpassed the Ram and is even giving Tesla a run for its money. Packed with cutting-edge technology and available in both hybrid and gas-powered versions, the CR-V is a strong contender in the U.S. market.

4. Tesla Model Y – 209,000 units sold (estimate)

Despite being the world’s best-selling car in 2023, the Tesla Model Y has seen a slight slowdown in 2024. The model, starting at $44,990, faces declining demand for electric vehicles in the U.S. Still, it holds strong in fourth place but could slip further down the rankings as the year progresses.

3. Toyota RAV4 – 248,295 units sold

The Toyota RAV4 continues its reign as the top SUV in the U.S. It climbed the rankings, overtaking the Ram, and is now eyeing second place from the Chevrolet Silverado. Despite being on the market since 2019, the RAV4 continues to sell exceptionally well, with the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid also contributing to its popularity. A refreshed model is expected soon, but Toyota seems in no rush to make changes given its current success.

2. Chevrolet Silverado – 275,692 units sold

The Chevrolet Silverado has maintained its strong market position. Sales are up slightly from last year, but the gap with the Ford F-Series remains significant. Buyers can choose between diesel, turbocharged four-cylinder, or classic V8 engines. Heavy-duty models come with an upgraded interior and advanced technology options. While it doesn’t have a direct competitor for the F-150 Raptor or Ram TRX, the rugged ZR2 Bison editions are available in 1500 and HD configurations.

Once again, the Ford F-Series is on track to become the best-selling truck in the U.S. for the 48th consecutive year. While sales dipped slightly in the first quarter of 2024, the model is still far ahead of its closest competitor. Ford updated the 14th generation F-150 for the 2024 model year, including increasing the power of the Raptor version to 720 horsepower, keeping it firmly at the top of the truck market.
