In 2023, BMW was the best-selling European car brand in the United States. Mercedes-Benz was ranked second, while fellow German manufacturer Volkswagen completed the top three. Global car sales are projected to be slightly higher in 2024 compared to preceding years.
Car sales in the United States
Out of European car brands, BMW sold the highest number of cars in the United States in 2023. However, this figure was much lower than the number of light vehicles sold by Asian or North American car brands. The Toyota Motor company sold some 1.89 million light vehicles under its namesake Toyota brand in 2023, the second highest number out of all car brands in the United States. However, it was Ford that was the leading American car brand in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2023.
