2025 U.S Passenger Car Sales Figures By Model (With Rankings)

2025 Best Selling Passenger Cars In the United States (All Models Ranked)

The passenger car segment in the United States has been declining in recent years, as consumers have shifted towards SUVs and trucks. In 2021, passenger cars accounted for just 20.9% of new vehicle sales in the US, down from 31.7% in 2016. Many consumers are now looking for vehicles that can accommodate their outdoor activities, such as camping, hiking, and biking. SUVs and trucks are better suited for these activities than passenger cars. Carmakers are cutting passenger car models and adding more and more SUVs and crossovers into the mix, which just exacerbates the situation. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had an impact on the passenger car segment. During the pandemic, many people began working from home and driving less. As a result, demand for passenger cars decreased.

Despite the decline in sales, the passenger car segment remains an important part of the US automotive market. Passenger cars are still a popular choice for consumers who are looking for a fuel-efficient and affordable vehicle. We expect that the trend will continue for the rest of 2023.
