2023 Best Selling Subcompact Cars In the United States (All Models Ranked)
The subcompact car segment in the US has been declining in recent years, due to a number of factors, including the rising cost of fuel, the growing popularity of SUVs and crossovers, and the increasing availability of affordable electric vehicles. In 2021, subcompact cars accounted for just 8.2% of new vehicle sales in the US, down from 9.3% in 2016.
As a result, a number of automakers have discontinued their subcompact car models in recent years, including the Ford Fiesta, Chevrolet Sonic, and Toyota Yaris. However, there are still a few subcompact car models available in the US, including the Honda Fit, Kia Rio, and Hyundai Accent. These cars offer a number of advantages over other types of vehicles, such as fuel efficiency, affordability, and easy-to-park size.
