The Top 10 Best Selling Vehicles in the USA in 2025

Once again pickups rule the charts.

It's been another banner year for vehicle sales, with well over 15 million new cars, trucks, and SUVs joining American roads in 2025. There aren't a whole lot of surprises at the top of the pile though, with only one change in the top 10 this year as a previous regular returns to the list.

If you bought one of the following models last year, you helped them capture nearly a quarter of the new car market. In ascending order, here are the Top 10 Best Selling New Vehicles in the USA in 2025:

In the before times, the long long ago, the Honda Civic (and its Accord big brother) would compete for higher spots on this list. Now it just barely makes the cut, beating out the 11th-place Hyundai Tucson by a mere 4,431 units. The Civic remains an exceptional compact car: it even won our 2025 Compact Car Mega Comparison. The addition of a hybrid powertrain on top models only increases its appeal, and the electrified powertrain accounts for almost 40-percent of sales. One of its competitors just beat it, however...

The Corolla and Civic are the compact car equivalents of the Mustang and Camaro: forever battling it out for class victory. Last year the Honda clinched the win, but this year it's the Toyota's time to shine. The Corolla is the older of the two, and while both vehicles offer a hybrid, Toyota locks the electrified powertrain to the sedan body shape only. Both also have high-performance models, with the GR Corolla netting useful tweaks for 2026.

Toyota has a one-two punch on the sales list here with the Tacoma. The only mid-sized truck to appear on the top 10 saw a major generational shift in 2024, ditching the trusty V6 engine for a turbocharged four-cylinder. There's even a hybrid setup too, which is standard in the TRD Pro and new Trailhunter trim (seen above). How dominant is the Tacoma? It more than doubled the sales tally of its next-best segment competitor (the Chevrolet Colorado at 107867 units), and nearly accounted for 45-percent of the mid-sized market on its own.

The Ram 1500 light-duty truck saw the late-year return of the Hemi V8, after the brand initially said goodbye to the engine as part of the 2025 model year update. While early reactions were positive, year-over-year sales barely budged, with Ram shifting just 939 more trucks this year (that overall figure includes the 1500, 2500, and 3500 models). It's still way off the truck's best performance in 2021 (569388 units), so we'll see how the about-face works out for Ram longterm.

The top end of this list rarely changes. So it goes this year, as Honda eked out an additional 977 CR-V sales this year over 2024 to stay firmly in fourth place. Or, put another way, roughly 2.67 additional sales per day! The CR-V saw a minor upgrade this year with better standard equipment and the addition of a (slightly) rugged TrailSport trim. Hybrid models now account for over half of CR-V sales.

The Toyota RAV4 continues to reign as the best-selling non-pickup in North America. Despite a generational changeover that saw the RAV4 become hybrid-only, sales didn't dip: in fact Toyota picked up a couple thousand sales, inching ever closer to half a million RAV4s in the US. The '26 model is more of a heavy refresh than an all-new model, but it addresses many of the criticisms we had about the previous best-seller. It's easy to understand the RAV4's success: while it rarely tops its class in any one way, it's never far from the top, making it easy to like and appealing to an ultra-wide demographic.

The current Chevy Silverado has matured into an impressive rig, as evidenced by its surge in sales this year. While not enough to claim the top spot, the 1500 saw an increase to 362,909 units (up 1.2 percent YoY) and the 3500 jumped to 206,184 units (up 12.2 percent YoY). Multiple distinct grades, a range of powerful engines ( including the excellent Duramax diesel) and the best hands-free highway driving assist on the market in the form of SuperCruise all contribute to the overall package.

Precisely none of us are surprised at this, right? Yes, the F-Series lineup of pickup trucks once again topped the sales charts. It'll do so until the heat death of the universe. Possibly the only surprising thing is that Ford's moneymaker surged as much as it did, pushing past 800,000 units sold and representing an 8.3-percent increase. That's even with the F-150 Lightning seeing its sales drop, leading to the electric truck getting the axe this year.
