Guess the Top Selling Cars/Trucks/SUVs of 2025

SPOILER ALERT: 
The Honda Accord and the Honda Civic are on the list. 
The other 18 are listed below too. 

The final sales numbers are in, and we're going to count down the TOP TWENTY USA SELLERS for 2025. This includes cars, trucks, and SUVs. Sure, it would be fun to know the top selling bicylces, motorcycles, chicken sandwiches, and wrenches, but we're sticking with vehicles here. Not long ago we talked about the top 10 over the first three quarters of the year, but what the heck, let's live it up and expand to the top 20 this time. 

NMS did NOT buy all of these new cars last year in an effort to review them all, but, we reserve the right to buy one of every car sold in America if we win a big enough lottery jackpot. Furthermore, we reseve the right to test drive any car that any manufacturer sends our way for free too! PRO TIP: Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen!

Speaking of buying cars, did you know that the AVERAGE retail price of new vehicles is now OVER $50,000? Since we don't make pennies anymore, I don't know how many pennies that would be, but it IS over 50,000 dollar bills! As much as I like cars, I can't imagine paying that for a car. So, NMS would like to recommend what many other people recommend, and that is to fix your current car. Beyond that, if you have to replace it, buy a 3 year old used car and let someone else take the hit on the depreciation. With the number of used cars, certified pre-owned ones available, you can save a lot of money compared to buying a new one. 

There might be some even bigger sellers in China, India, or on Mars, so this list is for the USA, and includes car, trucks, and SUVs. It does NOT include the Tiny Tikes Cozy Coupe, any Matchbox or Hot Wheels cars, and also does NOT include any cars found inside a box of Cracker Jack or cereal. 

Before going to the list, I guess I was surprised that there are NO German cars on the list! German cars like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Porsche seem to filling the streets of America, but they aren't in the top 20. The top BMW I could find on the Internet was the X3 that sold 76,546. For what it's worth, Porsche sold just over 76,000 TOTAL in the USA among all their models. Mercedes? They sold less TOTAL than just the Toyota Camry. 

20. Kia Sorrento 94,772  Kia is Hyundai's slightly cheaper brand, more to come from this brand further up the list. 

19. Ford Escape 139,387 OK, another small SUV, the Escape has been around a long time, and NMS had a couple of the earlier versions. More SUVS and Fords coming up too. 

18. Hyundai Elantra 148,200   Yep, you see a lot of these on the road. 

17. Honda Accord 150,196  Here's our first Japanese brand, although I believe the Accords are built in Indiana. But this isn't even their top selling car on the list. 

16. Nissan Sentra 152,578  Another Japanese brand, Nissan has a couple of vehicles on this list. 

15. Jeep Wrangler 167,322   Well, well, well. Jeep is still selling! Will they have any more on the list? 

14.  Jeep Grand Cherokee 210,082   JEEP! That wait didn't last long! 

13. Nissan Rogue 217,896   Back to Nissan, and it seems like everyone has a Rogue. My only experience inside a Rogue was replacing a cabin air filter, which according to the book meant to REMOVE THE GAS PEDAL to gain access! I managed it without taking the pedal off. 

12. Ford Explorer 222,706  The Explorer was born way back in 1991, so I guess it's old enough to drink and vote. The guy that replaced an NMS windshield this year said that new Explorers have some common problem with their windshield trim, but Your Mileage May Vary. 

11. Honda Civic 238.661  Ah-ha! Here we go! Another Honda, and I have to say that NMS-South is VERY happy with his Civic Hybrid getting over 50MPG!

10.  Toyota Corolla 248,088   Toyota hits the top ten, and this is not their only vehicle!

9. Chevrolet Equinox 274,356  I've been surprised at how many Equinoxes (Equinoxi?) are out there driving around. Not everyone wants a Corvette from Chevy, and a LOT of people want the Equinox. I'm not if they all SOLD, but Chevy BUILT over 25,000 Corvettes last year!

8. Toyota Tacoma 274,638  Another big hit from Toyota is the "TACO" truck, the Tacoma. These have a great reputation, have been around a good long while, and you probably can't really go wrong with this truck.  I should probably point out that this midsize truck tops the full size Toyota Tundra, and continues to sell more than any other midsize or small truck. 

7. Toyota Camry 316,185  Top selling CAR in America, the Camry. All Camrys are now Hybrid, and based on our experience with hybrids, they are great. 

6. GMC Sierra 356,218  GMC full size trucks here in 6th place is amazing, considering that they are a part of General Motors/Chevrolet. I still say that if Chevrolet would combine these sales with the Chevy Silverado they'd be #1. 

5. RAM Pickup 374,059  From our friends at RAM (Stellantis), guess what? It's another full size pickup! 

4. Honda CR-V 403,768  Back in the SUV battle, here's Honda's top contender. The CR-V has also been around in the USA, since 1997, and it's still the brand's top selling vehicle of any kind. 

3. Toyota RAV4 479,288  As good as the Honda may be, the Toyota RAV4 takes the SUV title for 2025 with over 70,000 more sales. I can't really picture 70,000 SUVs, so I like to think about how many per each of the 50 states. In this case, that's 1,400 brand new RAV4s in each state. In the state of SC where I live, we have 46 counties, so that would be 30 new RAV4s right here in York County. I can kind of picture that, and 30 in EVERY county in the entire country is a lot of SUVs. 

2. Chevrolet Silverado 588,709  Enough with the cars and SUVs, Americans want to buy new full size pickup trucks. Here's the Chevy Silverado in 2nd, with over half a MILLION new trucks sold!

1. Ford F Series 828,832  Ford again takes #1 in sales with its big range of F Series trucks. Maybe the Tiny Tikes people sold more of their little toy Cozy Coupes, or even Hot Wheels had a bigger seller, but for real cars and trucks, it's the Ford trucks again on top.
