2020 U.S Best Selling Vehicles (All Segments)

The Best-Selling Cars, SUVs, Minivans and Trucks

The Top-Selling Vehicles in the U.S Automotive Market for 2020

In 2020, the U.S. automotive market continued to see strong sales of trucks and SUVs, with traditional passenger cars becoming less popular. The COVID-19 pandemic also affected sales and the auto industry in general. As it has for many years, the Ford F-Series, especially the F-150, topped the list as the best-selling vehicle. The Chevrolet Silverado continued to perform well in the full-size pickup truck category. The Ram pickup trucks remained strong competitors in the full-size truck market. Maintaining its position, the RAV4 was the best-selling SUV in the U.S. for 2020. Another favorite in the compact SUV segment, the CR-V maintained strong sales. Chevy’s compact SUV offering remained among the top sellers. The Camry, while facing declining sedan market sales, continued to be the best-selling passenger car. Despite an overall downturn in compact car sales, the Civic remained a top seller in its category.

Pickup trucks remained the most popular vehicle segment in the U.S. in 2020, with the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado leading the way. Crossover SUVs also continued to be popular, with the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue making the top 5 list. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a significant decline in overall vehicle sales in 2020, the vehicles on this list remained popular with consumers. This is likely due to their combination of reliability, fuel efficiency, value, and versatility.
