Another year has come and gone, which means we have a new list of vehicles consumers couldn’t get enough of.
The US has a mighty appetite for vehicles, and in 2023, 15.5 million were moved off of factory floors and dealers’ lots into buyers’ hands. A solid increase over 2020 but still a far cry from the 17.5 million peak reached in 2016. It’s a sign that the country is healing from the pandemic, and soon, we may even be running into a surplus of vehicles for sale, which we last saw five years ago.
These vehicles represent the best of what consumers want, split into segments. America loves few things more than SUVs and pickup trucks, but even some sedans made the list. Also, remember that some winners benefit from automakers lumping multiple nameplates under one model, giving their numbers a nice boost over competitors.
It pays to be on top, so all’s fair in love and automotive sales.
