2021 U.S Small Luxury Car Sales Figures (With Rankings)

2021 Best Selling Small Luxury Cars In the United States (All Models Ranked)

In 2021, the small luxury car market in the U.S. continued to evolve, reflecting broader trends in both the luxury and automotive sectors. Over the years leading up to 2021, there was a noticeable trend of consumers preferring SUVs and crossovers over traditional sedans, even within the luxury segment. This led to decreased sales for many small luxury cars, while luxury compact SUVs experienced increased demand. Luxury brands increasingly introduced electric or electrified models, in line with global trends and stricter emission regulations. Brands like Tesla, Audi, Jaguar, and others offered electric models that competed both in the small luxury car segment and the SUV segment.

This all-electric sedan remained a strong player in the luxury segment. Its combination of performance, range, and tech features, along with Tesla’s brand appeal, made it a popular choice. A longtime stalwart of the small luxury car segment, the BMW 3 Series continued to be a top seller. It offered a blend of performance, luxury, and technology, appealing to both enthusiasts and luxury buyers. Another key player, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class offered a refined interior, advanced tech, and a range of engine options.
