Car sales in the United States
Out of European car brands, Volkswagen sold the highest number of cars in the United States in 2020. 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 567,700 light vehicles under its namesake Toyota brand in the fourth quarter of 2020, the 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 at the end of 2020 based on number of vehicles sold.
