2013 Best Selling Passenger Cars In the United States (All Models Ranked)
U.S. car sales ended 2013 poorly, capping off a year in which sales grew only slightly as the appetite for pickup trucks, SUVs, and crossovers expanded. Car sales fell between 3% and 4% in December and, over the course of the last twelve months, improved less than 5% compared with 2012.
The Toyota Camry exemplifies this good news/bad news picture. Camry sales fell 5% in December, but grew slightly in 2013. For the twelfth consecutive year, the Camry was America’s best-selling car. But the gap between the Camry and the second-ranked Honda Accord shrunk from 73,014 units in 2012 to 41,806 units in 2013. Honda’s smaller Civic was the top compact, 30,498 sales back of the Accord. The Accord, not the Camry, was the top-selling car in December. The three top vehicles in the final month of 2013, however, were all pickup trucks.
