Best-selling cars in the United States 2018
The best-selling cars in the United States in 2018 (based on unit sales)

Customer preference and opinion
The U.S. automotive industry is a significant driver of the U.S. economy. The total number of light vehicles sold in the United States seems to have reached a plateau in 2018. The recent decline in the number of new cars sold in the United States can be seen indicative of shifting consumer interests towards light trucks.The U.S. automotive industry is unique in a way that much of the U.S. population relies on motor vehicles as a primary mode of transportation. The quality of public transit in the U.S. is sub-par compared to other modes of transport, and government subsidies and taxes make the automotive industry in the U.S. much more accessible than in other markets.
