The 25 Bestselling Cars, Trucks, and SUVs of 2024 (So Far)
After years of turmoil, new-car sales are settling back into normalcy, and some new models snuck onto the list of bestsellers through the first three quarters of 2024.
In America, when compact cars are posting big increases and many SUV models are down, you have to wonder if we’re living in the upside down. But in truth, new-car sales are finally settling back into normalcy after years of supply-chain issues. Prices are still high, but inventories are back at typical levels, which should benefit shoppers. Here we’re ranking the 25 bestselling new cars sold in America through the first three quarters of 2024. You’ll find several models on this list that haven’t appeared in the top 25 before, and we’ll be updating this ranking when sales are released every quarter to see how things continue to shake out.
Honda HR-V: 114,805 units sold
The HR-V is the CR-V’s little sibling, and it’s becoming one of Honda’s core models in terms of sales volume. Sales were up 32 percent through the first three quarters of the year.
Toyota Tundra: 117,523 units sold
While it can’t hold a candle to the domestic Big Three pickups in terms of sales, the redesigned Tundra is having a good year. Its sales are up 27 percent compared with last year.
Kia Sportage: 118,758 units sold
The Sportage is in a bit of a sibling rivalry with the related Hyundai Tucson. The Kia is losing in the sales race, but is gaining ground with strong results for the first three quarters.
Nissan Sentra: 123,732 units sold
While the mid-size Altima didn’t even make it onto this list, the compact Sentra gained big. Its sales were up 39 percent through the first three quarters, making it the second bestselling Nissan.
Honda Accord: 124,689 units sold
It’s no secret we love the Accord: it’s won 10Best more than any other vehicle, and it’s our top-ranked mid-size sedan. But still, sales declined 18 percent through the first three quarters of the year.
Subaru Outback: 126,333 units sold
As arguably the most quintessential Subaru model, the Outback is a consistently strong seller. This SUV-ified station wagon was up 3 percent compared with last year.
