2019 US Auto Sales by Brand Analysis

Report Updated: With October 2019 Data on November 1st, 2019

Top Level U.S Reports: By Manufacturer / By Brand / By Model / Best Sellers

Automotive sales broken down into individual brands presents a clear picture of which brands are selling well and which just happened to have a good month in December.

December proved to be a trying month for the industry, with the vast majority of brands seeing declines in sales when compared with December of 2018. Only seven brands actually saw sales rise during the month. Overall the industry was down by about 150,000.

When you look at 2019 numbers as a whole, the sales increases and decreases by brand were a bit more of a mixed bag. Despite this, the industry was down by over 407,000 sales. This shows that 2019 wasn’t a great year overall for car sales.

This doesn’t necessarily bode well for 2020. As we enter a new year, it will be interesting to see if the sales trends continue or if there is a shift in the new year.

Beginning Q4 of 2019, Tesla sales will be reported quarterly joining GM, Ford, and FCA.

Below you will find US sales figures for all of the major auto brands broken down by month and by quarter. Brands differ from Manufacturers, for example, Ford Motor Co manufacturers both Ford and Lincoln brands. If you are looking for U.S. sales figures by auto manufacturer check out this page instead.

Data will trickle in throughout the day with the numbers being finalized by EOD. GCBC is also happy to announce that we will be adding quarterly sales reports and comparisons in addition to monthly sales comparisons beginning this quarter. We will also be adding monthly sales tables and charts to the mix as well.

Note: FCA US LLC will end its practice of reporting U.S. and Canada sales on a monthly basis following June results. FCA US and FCA Canada will report monthly sales for May and June. The first quarterly report will occur on October 1, 2019, covering the months of July, August, and September.

US Best Selling Car Brands Last Month

This data table looks at last month’s total automotive brand volumes in the United States by model. We compare U.S automotive brand sales for last month with the same month last year.

YTD Market Share Dynamics

This chart gives you a view of the year to date automotive sales volumes by brand and how they make up the U.S automotive market in terms of market share. You can see in this handy chart that the big brands continue to make up a disproportionate amount of the market for new car sales.

YTD This Year vs YTD Last Year

This chart simply takes each brand and compares their year to date sales with the year to date sales for the same time last year. Brands where the dark green bar is lower than the light green have seen declines in sales year on year whereas brands with a higher dark green bar and lower light green bar are seeing growth in volumes year on year.

YTD Automotive Brand Analysis

This chart might seem a little complicated at first but once you understand it is very helpful. First, the size of the area for each brand refers to their market share (i.e size). The bigger the circle the larger the brand in terms of sales volumes (YTD). The position of the circle in the chart along the left axis looks at the year to date growth of that brand. The higher the brand is on the chart, the more year to date growth it is seeing in sales volumes. Along the bottom axis you can see the total volumes shipped by that brand year to date.

US Quarterly Car Brand Sales Numbers

This data table looks at quarterly sales performance by automotive brand for the United States. It includes all major automotive brands sold in the U.S market. We compare last quarter’s U.S brand sales with the same brand sales for the same quarter last year. We also include a growth rate too so you can see which brands are growing and which ones are declining. The quarterly view of sales at the brand level often gives you a better picture of what is happening than monthly because it takes out some of the month to month noise.

US Automotive Brand Sales by Quarter

Like the monthly view of brand performance, the quarterly view is a broader, less volatile view. You can see automotive brands who are building momentum over several years and those who are declining over the same period. It is a little easier to see in this view and less volatile too because monthly ups and downs are smoothed out.
