2022 U.S Small Luxury Car Sales Figures (With Rankings)

Sales Figures & Rankings for Small Luxury Cars Sold in the United States

2022 Best Selling Small Luxury Cars In the United States (All Models Ranked)

Small luxury car sales in the U.S. were down 5.07% in 2022, with just over 273k units sold. This is the lowest level of small luxury car sales in the U.S. since 2011. These small luxury cars offer a variety of features and benefits that make them popular with consumers. They are also available in a range of price points, so there is a small luxury car to fit every budget.

Just as with the broader market, luxury buyers have shown a preference for SUVs and crossovers over traditional sedans and hatchbacks. Luxury automakers have been expanding their SUV and crossover lineups in response to this demand. The price gap between mainstream brands and luxury brands has narrowed in terms of feature offerings. Many non-luxury brands now offer advanced safety features, infotainment options, and interior refinements that used to be exclusive to luxury vehicles. This can make it harder to justify the price premium for a small luxury car.
