Top 30 Best-Selling Vehicles In America – March 2016

As the U.S. auto industry posted unexpectedly modest growth in March 2016, all three of America’s best-selling vehicles grew at least twice as fast as the industry as a whole. 

U.S. Vehicle Sales Rankings By Model – March 2016 YTD

All three of America’s best-selling vehicles are pickup trucks. Through the first-quarter of 2016, the Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, and Ram P/U added 23,000 sales to the industry’s ledger. 

With expectations rising that March auto sales volume may rise by more than 7% in America, General Motors posted marginal growth, Toyota lost sales, and numerous premium brands posted declines.  Passenger car sales dropped by more than 6% as the Toyota Camry – America’s top-selling car seven months running – tumbled 9% and despite huge gains from the Hyundai Sonata, Honda Civic, Nissan Sentra, and Chevrolet Malibu.
