These Are the Bestselling Cars, Trucks and SUVs of 2022

Here it is: the ever-present U.S. vehicle sales king. This is the 43,897th year the F-Series has led the sales charts. Okay, technically it is the 46th year the F-Series been the best selling truck. For those keeping track at home, C&D says Ford sold 15,617 electric F-150 Lightnings.

Ah, the Silverado. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride. This truck got a light update for 2022 and that probably helped it only lose about 1.7 percent of its sales compared to 2021.

Nearly 470,000 people said Mopar or No Car in 2022. We salute them.

Here it is: the best selling non-pickup truck in the United States. Despite the fact sales were down two percent in 2022, it’s still got a big lead over the Camry for non-pickup.

It wouldn’t be a best seller list without the Toyota Camry. Year after year it continues to be the best selling sedan in America. We’ll be long dead before that fact changes.

You know pickup trucks are popular when GM’s “other” truck is the sixth best selling vehicle on sale right now. Sales were only down about three percent from 2021.

2022 was an odd year for the CR-V. Both the 2022 and 2023 model year vehicles (2023 was a heavy redesign) were on sale at some point during the year.

Despite the fact the Model Y is very much not a cheap or easily obtainable vehicle, it was still the best selling EV in the United States in 2022.

The Grand Cherokee is now your best selling three row SUV... probably. Stellantis seems to combine two-row Grand Cherokee and three-row Grand Cherokee L sales into one number. Either way, good job Jeep (That being said, sales still ended up down 16 percent compared to 2021)

Sales of the Highlander were down 16 percent last year. It ended on the top 10 list despite the fact it had a weak second half of 2022, according to Car & Driver.

Sales may have dropped about 11 percent in 2022, but the Corolla is still the best selling compact sedan in the United States.

Despite being out for 900 years, the Tacoma is still the best selling mid-size truck on the market. Current generation Tacoma sales will continue until morale improves, and morale is never going to improve, is it?

Here’s your NPC-mobile if you want an American car. A 28 percent year-over-year sales jump is probably mostly down to the big redesign the Equinox got in 2022.

As an Explorer owner, hell yeah! The SUV’s sales were down 6 percent last year, and still lag considerably behind some of its chief competitors.

The Model 3 was by far and away the best selling electric sedan on the market in 2022. That being said, it wasn’t the best selling EV by a long shot. You can guess what was... coming up.

Sales of the NPC-mobile remained pretty strong in 2022, but they were down 35 percent compared to the year prior.

It’s wild to think that the Jeep Wrangler outsells vehicles like the Honda Accord, Civic and Nissan Altima. But, here we are. What a wonderful world. It also blew its chief competitor - the Bronco - out of the water in terms of sales. It sold 117,057 units.

This is a good showing for the first year of the redesigned Tucson. Sales rose just about 16 percent over 2021's totals.

Subaru has a new sales king! In 2022 the Crosstrek overtook the Outback for the automaker’s best selling model. On top of that, sales of the getting-a-bit-long-in-the-tooth Crosstrek were up 22 percent over the previous year.

This isn’t a bad swan song for the 10th generation Accord. However, sales were down about 24 percent compared to 2021. Be on the lookout for 11th generation Accords to start popping up soon.
