North American Passenger Car Sales for 2011
In 2011, the North American car sales continued to show signs of recovery and growth compared to previous years. The total number of vehicles sold in North America in 2011 was approximately 12.8 million. This figure includes both cars and light trucks. In terms of passenger cars, North America saw a total of 7.54 million units sold, with the United States making up almost 80% of the total.
The key driver of growth was because the North American economy continued to recover from the global financial crisis and the subsequent recession. Consumer confidence improved further, driven by declining unemployment rates, increased access to credit, and more stable financial conditions. This positive economic environment contributed to the growth in car sales.
