The Tesla Model Y was the best-selling car model in 2023, topping 1.15 million sales. It was followed closely by the Toyota Corolla. Overall global car sales grew to roughly 75.3 million units in 2023, up from 67.3 million in 2022.
Toyota’s next top model
Car shoppers purchased more than one million Toyota Corolla models, making it the world’s second most popular car in 2023. Toyota consistently ranked among the most valuable car brands within the global automotive sector. As of June 2023, it came in second only to Tesla, beating out other competitors such as Mercedes-Benz or Honda.
Big in North America
North America was the primary international market for Toyota vehicle sales, with sales volumes just above the domestic market. The Toyota RAV4, third in the ranking worldwide, was the best-selling SUV model in the U.S. market, with the Highlander close behind. The Ford F-Series truck also has a history of setting records in North America, as it is also the best-selling light truck model series in the United States. However, the model is less popular outside of these two markets. Only a little small number of such vehicles were sold in other markets.
