2019 US Auto Sales Figures – By Manufacturer (Automaker Rankings)

2019 U.S. Automotive Sales by Automaker – The Best-Selling Automotive Manufacturers By Sales Volume

Wrapping up 2019, the month of December wasn’t the most impressive sales month. The majority of automakers saw sales drop in the month of December. In fact, only three automakers saw sales rise over December of last year. When you look at the YTD numbers, you’ll see that 2019 sales weren’t super strong. While the number of companies that saw sales rise was the same as the number of companies that saw sales drop, the overall number of vehicles sold was down.

When you look at the total numbers, in December the industry was down by about 150,000 units. When you look at 2019 sales for the entire year, you’ll see that there were about 407,000 fewer sales in 2019 when compared with 2018. In terms of volume, the top four highest-selling automakers saw sales drop for both the month of December and 2019 as a whole.
