U.S. auto sales soared to a record-setting 17.5 million units in calendar year 2015, representative of a 5.7% year-over-year increase worth nearly 950,000 additional sales compared with 2014. Ford was America’s top-selling automotive brand in calendar year 2015, propelled along by strong F-Series sales at the end of the year and rising sales of the iconic Explorer throughout 2015.
General Motors, with its best year since 2007 and its first year since 2007 with more than 3 million U.S. sales, was the top-selling manufacturer, 480,000 sales ahead of the Ford Motor Company. No premium auto brand generated more luxury sales than BMW, which trailed the overarching Mercedes-Benz brand (vans included) by 26,954 units but outsold Mercedes-Benz’s car/SUV division by 2935 units over the course of 2015.
