The 10 Best-Selling Cars of 2024 (So Far)
The last few years haven’t been easy for automakers. A global pandemic, supply chain issues, and political turmoil combined to wreak havoc on numerous industries. New car sales suffered as a result, but that appears to be changing for the better. In some cases, much better.
With first-quarter automaker sales figures tabulated, we’re getting a preview of how 2024 might shake out for the US auto industry. On this list there are familiar faces like Chevrolet and Ford, but you’ll also find some big surprises at both ends of the scale.
Keep that in mind as you scroll through our list of the best-selling cars of 2024 (so far).
Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram are still at the top of the chart.
10:- Honda Civic – 61,929 Car Units
Vendors are swarming for the perpetually youthful Honda Civic. Honda made the proper choice in simplifying the exterior appearance for the current generation, as evidenced by the 36% increase in sales over the previous year. Whether it’s a $24,000 sedan, a $25,000 hatchback, or the record-breaking Civic Type R with its 315 horsepower turbocharged engine, there’s something for everyone here.
9:- GMC Sierra – 68,597 Car Units
Sales of the Sierra are up marginally (2.1 percent), much like those of its twin, the Chevy Silverado. This year’s big news is the arrival of the Sierra EV, which will be available to consumers this summer in the top-of-the-line Denali Edition 1 trim level. Another option is the Sierra HD AT4X AEV Edition, a heavy-duty off-road vehicle that made its debut at the end of the previous year. The base model 1500 costs about $38,000, while the electrified Denali and the diesel-powered HD Denali Ultimate cost little less than $100,000.
8:- Toyota Camry – 78,337 Car Units
The best-selling sedan in America is still the Toyota. There will be a new Camry in 2024 (as a 2025 model), and it will only be offered as a hybrid with 225 or 232 horsepower. Additionally, Toyota offers it with front-wheel or all-wheel drive and a plethora of standard driver assistance technologies. Dealerships are only now starting to carry it, therefore the 18.6% rise in sales pertains to the outgoing model. It will be fascinating to observe if consumers prefer the new Camry over the previous model.
7:- Ram Pickup – 89,417 Car Units
Is Ram in danger? The full-size pickup truck’s sales have decreased by 15% so far in the first quarter, which is significant enough to push it back behind the Silverado and F-Series. Later this year, a facelifted truck will be released as a 2025 model; however, since the V-8 engine is no longer available, opinions may differ. The 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo engine, which produces more power than the departing Hemi but lacks the V-8 growl, will be the top-of-the-line engine. As the new truck hits dealerships, Ram will undoubtedly be closely monitoring sales numbers.
6:- Nissan Rogue – 90,804 Car Units
The Rogue is a subdued, perfectly average SUV, according to some. However, its sales figures don’t reflect this. It has been among the top-selling cars for a number of years, and right now it is barely outside the top 5. Sales have increased by 18.7%, putting it in line with the Honda CR-V, which ranks third among SUVs for US consumers. Will Nissan’s modest redesign for 2024 be sufficient to overtake Honda as the third best-selling SUV by the end of the year?
5:- Honda CR-V – 95,038 Car Units
Customers appear to adore the sixth-generation CR-V, which debuted for the 2023 model year. This reliable best-seller in the US is up 41.3 percent from the previous year, surpassing the Ram pickup and challenging Tesla. The CR-V, which has a somewhat larger and more sophisticated design, comes with a variety of basic driver-assist technologies and a choice of hybrid or pure combustion engine options.
4:- Tesla Model Y – 109,000 Units (Est.)
The Tesla Model Y was the world’s best-selling car of the previous year. According to Automotive News’ projections, the compact crossover ranks fourth in the US as of 2024. However, as the year goes on, the United States’ waning demand for EVs could cause it to drop even more from the top spot. The standard model, which costs $44,990, has a 260-mile range and a single motor. The range-topping Model Y Performance, which costs $53,490, adds a second motor and significantly more power.
3:- Toyota RAV4 – 124,822 Car Units
There are no indications that the American SUV king will be slowing down. The RAV4 has actually increased by more than 47% so far in the first quarter of this year. It has replaced Ram in the top three best-selling cars, and it’s almost certain to dethrone the Silverado at number two. Nor is the design new; the RAV4 Prime plug-in hybrid debuted soon after the current model, which debuted in 2019. Although the current model is selling like crazy, there may be an update on the way, but we don’t think Toyota is in a rush to release it.
2:- Chevrolet Silverado – 127,563 Car Units
As far as the Silverado is concerned, at least, things are quite steady in the Chevrolet camp. Although sales of the well-liked pickup have somewhat increased (by about 2%), the difference with the Ford F-Series is still rather large. Diesel, turbocharged four-cylinder, or pure V-8 are the options available to buyers. When you upgrade to an HD vehicle, you’ll find an updated interior with lots of technological features. Although the F-150 Raptor and Ram TRX still lack a true rival, the tough ZR2 Bison variants come in 1500 and HD body types.
1:- Ford F-Series – 152,943 Units
For the 48th consecutive year, the Ford F-Series is poised to top the sales charts for pickup trucks in the United States. Despite a decline in sales through the first three months of 2024, the Blue Oval is still on pace to outsell its nearest rival, having sold over 750,000 vehicles in 2023. For the 2024 model year, Ford performed a mid-cycle revamp on the fourteenth-generation F-150, increasing the Raptor’s power to 720 horsepower.
