2022 U.S Small Car Sales Figures (With Rankings)

2022 Best Selling Small Cars In the United States (All Models Ranked)

Small car sales in the U.S. were down 27% in 2022, with just over 914k units sold. This is the lowest level of small car sales in the U.S. since 2011.

The decline in small car sales can be attributed to a number of factors, including the rising popularity of SUVs, the increasing availability of electric vehicles, and the rising cost of living. SUVs are seen as being more practical and versatile than small cars, and they offer the same level of fuel efficiency. Additionally, the increasing availability of electric vehicles is making them more appealing to consumers who are looking for a more environmentally friendly option. Finally, the rising cost of living is making small cars less affordable for many consumers.
