The US MPV market by carmaker in Q1-2021
- MPVs represent 2.3% of the US market in the first quarter of 2021, to 91,695 units, steadily declining for twenty years. It is to remind that in the 90s, the MPV category accounted for up to 1.3 million sales per year in the United States, with a major leader: the Chrysler group with the Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth brands. With the increasing success of SUVs, the MPV market has continued to drop the United States, and this trend has been seen in Europe, Russia and China.
- Who are the best sellers of MPVs in the US market today? The Stellantis group has managed to maintain the leading position of the FCA group, thanks to the Chrysler Pacifica, also available for a few months under a simplified version named Chrysler Voyager. This model was previously produced under the Plymouth brand which reigned in the MPV market for about fifteen years, then under the Chrysler brand, after the discontinuation of the Plymouth brand, and which was marketed for more than twenty years in Europe.
- In the first quarter of 2021, less than 35,000 units of MPVs were sold in the USA by Stellantis, which still represents 38% of this small MPV market. GM and Ford having exit this market for a long time, only the Japanese carmakers Toyota (with the Sienna model) and Honda (with the Odyssey) remain, which occupy second and third place in this market. Nissan also exit this market after the Quest was discontinued. A final series of the Dodge Caravan still exists today but this brand will stop marketing MPVs before the end of this year. Finally, Kia is trying to enter this market modestly.
