2018 U.S Passenger Car Sales Figures By Model (With Rankings)

Sales Figures & Rankings for Passenger Cars Sold in the United States

2018 Best Selling Passenger Cars In the United States (All Models Ranked)

Passenger cars took a hit in 2018. In 2018, the U.S. automotive market continued to see a shift in consumer preference towards SUVs and trucks. However, passenger cars (sedans, hatchbacks, and coupes) still accounted for a significant portion of vehicle sales.

Buyers seem to prefer crossovers and SUVs instead of sedans, coupes, hatchbacks, and wagons. Some notable declines include the two leaders of the pack: Toyota Camry and Honda Civic. Toyota’s Camry was down 32.86 percent for December 2018 compared to this time last year, and for the entire year, sales were down 11.27 percent. Honda Civic’s sales dropped by 15.99 percent in December and 13.66 percent YTD.
