The 20 Best-Selling New Cars in America, With Starting Prices

America's best-selling new cars in 2025 were led by the Ford F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. Pickups and SUVs dominated the top 20. Starting MSRPs for base trims, excluding destination charges, ranged from about $21,700 for the Chevrolet Trax to roughly $42,025 for the Ram 1500.

How this list is ranked

These are the 20 best-selling new cars, trucks and SUVs in the United States for full-year 2025. Full-size pickups and compact SUVs sit near the top, with a handful of sedans still holding spots below them. The top ten are ranked by reported full-year 2025 sales. The remaining ten are still part of America's top twenty, but published sources disagree on their exact order, so they are listed alphabetically by make. Starting MSRPs are for the lowest-priced trim of each 2026 model and exclude destination, tax, title, licensing and dealer fees. The Tesla Model Y figure is an estimate because Tesla does not report U.S. model-level sales.
