Content
The best-selling cars in the world for the past 2020 have already been determined. Focus2Move, a specialist research firm, has released global sales data and it is clear that there may be a downturn due to the coronavirus crisis, but the top performers are broadly unchanged and the three best-selling vehicles remain the same from 2019, although “on the podium.” to make a big surprise. Which has nothing to do with the world bestseller.
Among the 10 best-selling cars on our planet, there is only one new contender different from those in 2019. There are other interesting changes in the ranking, but the most serious one is that in 2020 only one model was able to record more than 1 million sales (in 2019 there were 2).
10. Nissan Sylphy (544 units)
A relatively unknown model for European consumers, the Silphy is sold primarily in Japan, China and some other Southeast Asian markets. But depending on the generations, and sometimes under a different name, he also appeared in Russia and the UK. The Nissan Sylphy is for the first time in the top 10 best-selling cars in the world, displacing not just anyone, but the Volkswagen Golf. Sales of the Japanese model rose 14,4%.
9. Toyota Camry (592 units)
In Europe, this model has recently appeared to replace the Avensis, but in many other markets around the world it is selling very well, especially in the United States. However, sales of the car were seriously affected by the crisis, as well as the global phase-out of full-size sedans, and Camry sales fell 13,2% in 2020.
8. Volkswagen Tiguan (607 121 pcs.)
Volkswagen's global crossover model has sold very well since its inception, consistently ranking in the top 18,8. But last year it lost a significant share of the market, sales fell by 2019%. Which dropped it two positions in the ranking compared to XNUMX.
7. Ram (631 593 pieces)
Considered the main competitor to the Ford F Series, RAM became a brand in its own right in 2009. After an 11% increase in sales in 2019, registrations fell by as much as 2020 units in 100000, and the ram was overtaken by another representative of the segment.
6. Chevrolet Silverado (637 units)
The Silverado is traditionally the third best-selling model in the US after the Ford F and RAM, but it has outpaced one of its competitors this year. In addition, the pickup has one of the smallest drops in sales, just 6000 units less than in 2019.
5. Honda Civic (697 units)
One of the two Honda models traditionally among the most popular in the world saw a 16,3% decline in sales compared to 2019, dropping one position down the rankings. On the other hand, it is ahead of another model from the Japanese company.
4. Honda CR-V (705 651 units)
For several years in a row, the CR-V has been the best-selling SUV in the world and has traditionally been in the top five. In 2020, it also decreased - 13,2%, which is associated with the COVID-19 crisis and the decision to abandon diesel fuel. But the crossover managed to overtake the Civic by about 7000 units.
3. Ford F Series (968 units)
Ford F-Series pickups are the unrivaled sales champion in the US, not only in their segment, but in the market as a whole. Implementations at home account for 98% of the total over the decades. However, last year the F-150 and the company made 100 fewer sales, both because of the crisis and due to facelift expectations in the last quarter. Thus, the American machine gun had to give way to the long-standing second place in the ranking.
2. Toyota RAV4 (971 516 pcs.)
The Toyota crossover has always been among the top-selling vehicles in the world. In addition, it is the only model out of 5 bestsellers to record sales growth in a challenging 2020. Although the RAV4 is only 2% larger, it performed better than 2019 (when, in turn, sales were up 11%).
1. Toyota Corolla (1 pcs.)
Another year the world's best-selling car is the Toyota Corolla. Despite the fact that demand for this Japanese compact model has decreased by 9% compared to 2019, it is the only model to have sold more than 1 million units.
