Last year was a rough one for cars in the U.S. Ford announced that it was cutting its car lineup down to just the Mustang. GM canceled several Chevrolets and Cadillacs. Oh, and sedan sales continued to slide. But it wasn’t all bad news. Nearly two dozen vehicles crossed the 200,000-sales mark, which is seriously impressive. Keep reading to see the top 15 best-selling vehicles of 2018 in ascending order.
15. Jeep Wrangler
Jeep sold 240,032 Wranglers last year, up about 26 percent over 2017. Interestingly, the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee weren’t far behind, selling 239,437 and 224,908 units respectively.
14. Toyota Highlander
In the 1986 film Highlander, Connor MacLeod, the Highlander, famously exclaims, “There can be only one!” But it turns out, there can be more than that. A lot more, actually. Toyota sold 244,511 Highlanders in 2018, an improvement of more than 13 percent.
13. Toyota Tacoma
People sure do love buying Tacomas. Sales were up a full 24 percent last year, bringing the total up to 245,659. The Tacoma also has the honor of being the only midsize pickup to make this list.
12. Ford Escape
The Escape is getting old, and it could desperately use a redesign. Last year, sales fell nearly 12 percent at a time when crossovers are all the rage. And yet Ford still moved 272,228 Escapes last year.
11. Honda Accord
Accord sales slipped nearly 10 percent last year, bringing the total to less than 300,000 for the first time since 2011—yet another sign that sedans are waning in popularity. Even so, the fact that Honda managed to sell 291,070 Accords in 2018 is still impressive.
10. Toyota Corolla
We wouldn’t be surprised if the new Corolla turns this trend around in 2019, but last year, sales dropped nearly 8 percent. That still meant Toyota sold 303,732 Corollas in 2018, though.
9. Honda Civic
It may not have been the best-selling car (read on to find out which model gets that honor), but the Honda Civic was the top-selling compact last year. Not only did Honda sell 325,760 Civics in 2018, it sold almost 14 percent more than it did in 2017.
8. Chevrolet Equinox
GM doesn’t have many vehicles on this list, making the Equinox’s top-10 finish even more impressive. Chevrolet sold 332,618 copies of its compact crossover in 2018, which represents a near-15-percent improvement over the year before.
7. Toyota Camry
It might not be the best-selling vehicle in the U.S., but the Toyota Camry does take the award for being the most popular car. Toyota sold 343,439 Camrys last year, which is impressive but also more than 11 percent lower than the number sold in 2017.
6. Honda CR-V
As high as demand was for the Civic, the CR-V was Honda’s real sales winner last year. With 377,895 units sold, the CR-V beat the Civic by more than 50,000 and improved ever so slightly over its sales performance the year before.
5. Nissan Rogue
Nissan sold 412,110 Rogues in 2018, up a little more than 2 percent for the year. The Rogue has been Nissan’s most popular model for a few years now, but this year the brand sold nearly as many as its second and third best-selling models, the Sentra and Altima, combined (it’s worth noting, though, that Nissan combines sales of the Rogue Sport and Rogue to form that impressive 412,110 sales figure). The once-hot-selling sedans finished the year with 213,046 and 209,146 sales, respectively.
4. Toyota RAV4
There’s a good chance Toyota will sell more than a half-million RAV4s this year, but last year, it came up a bit short of that mark at 427,170. Still, that represents almost a 5-percent improvement over 2017.
3. Ram Pickup
Last year, Ram’s pickup truck sales increased by about 7 percent, bringing the total sold up to 536,980. Now that the Ram 1500 has been named our 2019 Truck of the Year, we’d like to think sales will be even better this year.
2. Chevrolet Silverado
Silverado sales were basically flat in 2018, coming in at 585,581. Unfortunately for GM, even if you add in the 219,554 GMC Sierras it sold last year, Ford still took first place overall.
1. Ford F-Series
Ford sold 909,330 F-Series pickup trucks last year, a 1.4-percent improvement over 2017. After crossing the 900,000-mark, you have to wonder how long it will take Ford to break 1,000,000.
