Best-Selling Passenger Car Models Worldwide (2025): Key Points

  • The shift toward SUVs and crossovers at the top of this list reflects a decade-long global consumer preference shift away from traditional sedans, driven by buyers' preference for higher ride height, cargo space, and a perception of greater safety, even though sedans generally offer better fuel efficiency and lower cost. The Model Y's strong showing demonstrates that a single well-executed EV model, sold globally rather than region-by-region, can now compete directly with the best-established internal-combustion nameplates on raw volume, not just in EV-specific comparisons.

How To Read This Chart
