Car sales in the United States

Out of European car brands, Volkswagen sold the highest number of cars in the United States in 2019. However, this figure was much lower than the number of light vehicles sold by Asian or North American car brands. The Ford Motor Company sold some 565,000 light vehicles under its namesake Ford brand in the fourth quarter of 2019, the highest number out of all car brands in the United States. However, it was Toyota that was the leading Asian car brand in the United States at the end of 2019 based on number of vehicles sold.
