These Are The 10 Best Selling SUVs In America
With 475,193 units sold, the Toyota RAV4 took home the trophy as the best-selling new SUV in America in 2024.
That’s an impressive performance, and it represents the third year in a row that Toyota’s compact utility vehicle has increased in sales. It’s even better than the Ram pickup that had been the third-best-selling vehicle in America for the last several years prior.
The RAV4 is far from the only SUV or crossover that sold well last year. Other top performers included the Tesla Model Y, which was the best-selling electric vehicle overall, and the Honda CR-V.
Toyota RAV4 (475,193) |
Tesla Model Y (405,900 est) |
Honda CR-V (402,791) |
Nissan Rogue (245,724) |
Jeep Grand Cherokee (216,148) |
Chevrolet Equinox (207,730) |
Hyundai Tucson (206,126) |
Chevrolet Trax (200,689) |
Ford Explorer (194,094) |
Subaru Crosstrek (181,811) |
As you can see from the list above, car-based crossovers have continued their takeover as the passenger-car vehicle of choice for the majority of Americans.
Pickups like the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado still sell so well that they take the top two positions overall, and considering how luxurious today’s crop of four-door trucks has become, we’re not surprised. But crossovers and SUVs outsell traditional four-door sedans by a significant amount.
Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia (Sportage sales came to 161,917 in 2024) and Subaru all count utility vehicles as their best-selling models in America. The Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ford Explorer are more traditional SUVs with rear-biased four-wheel-drive systems, and those are still popular choices as well. Of the top 25 vehicles in sales, 14 were SUVs.
