What are now the best-selling sedans in the United States?
- The removal of Big Three sedans (GM, Ford, Chrysler) from the C, D and E segments in 2020 and 2021 did not result in a real increase in sales of equivalent cars from Japanese and Korean manufacturers. These continued to see their sales decline in 2020 even if we are witnessing a modest revival of these models in 2021, without being certain that this trend is directly linked to the cessation of sales of Big Three sedans.
- The best-selling Japanese sedans in the United States in 2021 are the Toyota Camry (sales leader for more than a decade) with 314,000 units, the Honda Civic (264,000 units), the Toyota Corolla (230,000 units) and the Honda Accord (203,000 units). These four C- and D-segment sedans are followed by the Nissan Sentra (128,000 units) and the Hyundai Elantra (124,000 units), both of which are C-segment. The Tesla Model 3, a 100% electric D-segment American car, manages to clinch seventh place (122,000 units), also slightly up on 2020, but lower than 2018 and 2019, no doubt due to competition from the Tesla Model Y launched in 2020 Behind the Tesla Model 3, the Kia Forte (116,000 units), Nissan Altima (104,000 units) and Hyundai Sonata (93,000 units) bring up the rear of the top ten.
- In total, these 10 sedans represented 1.7 million vehicles sold in the USA in 2021, compared to 1.6 million in 2020, 2.1 million in 2019, 2.5 million in 2016 and 2.3 million in 2012. The overall sedan market in the USA represented 3 million units in 2021, compared to 3.3 million in 2020, 4.3 million in 2019, 6.0 million in 2016 and 5.9 million in 2012.
