2016 Year End U.S. Passenger Car Sales Rankings - Top 165 Best-Selling Cars In America - Every Car Ranked

2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV
2016 was not the year of the car.

U.S. auto sales rose to an all-time high of some 17.5M units, but passenger cars accounted for just 39% of the industry's volume, down from 43% in 2015 and 52% as recently as 2012.

Part of that decline can be laid at the feet, or rather the tires, of the Toyota Camry, America's  best-selling car. To what extent the Camry can recover from these doldrums – sales fell 10% to 388,618 units in 2016, the lowest total and first sub-400K yeear since 2011 – once the all-new model is introuced at this month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit remains to be seen. New can't hurt.

But the Camry isn't the only car to falter. In fact, 15 of America's 20 most popular cars sold less often in 2016 than in 2015. 




Double-digit percentage losses were reported by newer models such as the Hyundai Elantra and Chevrolet Cruze as well as older cars such as the Ford Focus and Ford Fusion.

There were nevertheless many all-new nameplates added to America's passenger car fleet in 2016: Cadillac CT6, Buick Cascada, Jaguar XE, Lincoln Continental, Volvo S90, Fiat 124 Spider, Chevrolet Bolt, Acura NSX, Alfa Romeo Giulia, and a two-pronged car lineup at Hyundai's new Genesis brand.
