Can You Guess: Top 10 Selling Cars of 2025?

Is the Honda Civic in the TOP TEN?

Sure, the year isn't over yet, but we got a jump start on the top 10 sellers of  2025 thanks to Car and Driver magazine. These statistics are through the first three quarters, so January to the end of September. What do you guess are the top 10 selling cars this year? You can read the article at this link, and then we'll count them down. 

CAR AND DRIVER ARTICLE

We want to give you more than your money's worth here at NMS, so we'll start with a bonus, the #11 top seller, which is the Honda Civic! We'll also point out that NMS-South bought a Civic this year, so, Dear Honda, You're Welcome!


NUMBER TEN: Chevy Equinox 203,583 sold so far.
A top 10 showing from a US brand SUV? Hint: This is the only one!

NUMBER NINE: Toyota Tacoma 204,464
The classic "Taco Truck" from Toyota is not their first model on this list, and you should not be surprised to learn that it will NOT be the last truck!

NUMBER EIGHT: Tesla Model Y 232,000 estimated
The only strictly electric car on the list. 

NUMBER SEVEN: Toyota Camry 234,426
The Camry takes the top car spot so far this year, can the Honda Accord come back in the last three months?

NUMBER SIX: GMC Sierra 251,845
A full size truck? In the USA? DUH... and there's more to come!

NUMBER FIVE: RAM Pickups 262,386
Surprise, another truck! Guess what? There are STILL more to come!

NUMBER FOUR: Honda CR-V 307,501
The CR-V continues to be a big seller, but hold on just a bit, there's one more SUV ahead of it!

NUMBER THREE: Toyota RAV4 358,134
Toyota takes the top selling SUV spot, can they hold it to the end of the year? At this point I'll point out that the RAV4 sold about 50,000 more than the CR-V. My math says that divided by the 50 states, well, that's right about 1,000 more Toyotas than Hondas per state! To be honest I didn't count DC and Puerto Rico, Guam, etc, because that would make the math harder!

NUMBER TWO: Chevy Silverado 422,685
This sales total equals 1,548 trucks a DAY for the first nine months of the year, and that's a LOT of trucks! What in the world could possibly sell even more? Another truck?

NUMBER ONE: Ford F-Series 597,546
OK, 2,188 Ford F-Series trucks sold per DAY is more than the Chevy total, so the Ford F-Series takes it by a good margin. 

My only problem with this is that adding all the "F-Series" together includes a LOT of different models. If I was a car selling brand like Toyota, I'd think about just re-naming the Corolla to the "Little Camry" or re-badge the Camry as a "Corolla-Max!" because something creative and simple like that would let Toyota combine their sales numbers, and BAM!!! Toyota could give the Silverado and F-Series a run for their money at the top of the pile!
