2022 Best Selling Compact Cars In the United States (All Models Ranked)
Compact car sales in the U.S. were down 25% in 2022, with 748,290 units sold. This is the lowest level of compact car sales in the U.S. since 1987. The decline in compact 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 compact cars, and they offer the same level of fuel efficiency.
Despite the decline in sales, compact cars remain a popular choice for consumers who are looking for an affordable and fuel-efficient vehicle that is still spacious and comfortable. Compact cars are also a good choice for families with young children, as they offer more cargo space and easier access to the rear seats than subcompact cars.
