    Full-Year 2022 National Auto Sales By Brand

    It was a challenging year for the auto industry, primarily due to the microchip shortages, and certainly rising interest rates did not help.  There was also a noticeable lack of incentives from the automakers, and lease deals were not nearly as good as in years past.

    December showed some sparks of life for many car companies, as sales rose 7.2%, but not enough to put the sales numbers over the 14 million mark, making 2022 sales the lowest since 2011.

    General Motors regained the #1 sales leadership spot, wrestling it away from Toyota, which was #1 in 2021.  Ford F-Series trucks retained the title of #1 truck in America for 46 straight years and the #1 selling vehicle overall for 41 straight years.

    Here are your winners and losers by brand for the full year of 2022 and how the numbers fared versus the year of 2021:

    Note: Jaguar and Land Rover have not reported 2022 sales. Also, the all-electric makes like Tesla, Lucid, Karma, and Polestar do not report sales, only how many vehicles were produced, but that is not a reflection of actual sales since we don’t know how many were built, but not sold.
