The Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ram P/U – America’s three top sellers – all outpaced the industry’s rate of expansion. Indeed, all of America’s seven top-selling vehicles posted improvements superior to that of the overall industry.
Compared with January of last year, the Volkswagen Jetta, Kia Optima, Toyota Highlander, and Chevrolet Impala were knocked off. In their place, you’ll find the Subaru Outback, Jeep Wrangler, Honda Pilot, and Nissan Sentra.
We’ve already published January 2015 lists for the 20 best-selling cars, 20 best-selling SUVs and crossovers, and complete figures for every pickup truck, links to which you’ll find at the bottom of this post. Throwing all those vehicles into one group results in this list of the 30 best-selling vehicles overall. We end up with five pickup trucks, 13 cars, 11 utility vehicles, and one Subaru Outback.
Historical monthly and yearly sales figures for any of these top-selling vehicles can always be accessed through the dropdown menu at GCBC’s Sales Stats page, and for those not viewing the mobile version of this site, near the top right of this page, as well.
