2020 US Auto Sales Figures – By Manufacturer (Automaker Rankings)

2020 U.S. Automotive Sales by Automaker – The Best-Selling Automotive Manufacturers By Sales Volume

In 2020, the U.S. auto market was significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The challenges were multifaceted, including factory shutdowns, supply chain disruptions, reduced consumer demand due to economic uncertainty, and temporary closures of many dealerships. However, despite a notable decrease in sales in the initial months of the pandemic, the auto market saw some recovery in the latter half of the year. GM was the largest American automaker, which includes brands Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and Buick, saw the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups among its top performers. While the Ford F-Series retained its status as America’s best-selling vehicle, Ford’s overall numbers were also backed by SUVs like the Explorer and Escape. Toyota, with its RAV4, Camry, and Corolla, remained a top seller in the U.S. market. The RAV4, in particular, showed impressive numbers. Now known as Stellantis after a merger in early 2021, FCA’s 2020 sales were driven by brands like Ram, Jeep, and Dodge. The Ram pickup and Jeep SUVs like the Wrangler and Grand Cherokee were standout models.
