Best-selling car models vary widely across different regions of the world. In this toot, I will compare the sizes of the following areas: ASEAN, Latin America, Europe, North America, and the world overall.
ASEAN is a regional grouping of 10 countries in Southeast Asia. The best-selling car model in ASEAN in 2021 was the Toyota Hilux. The second best-selling car model was the Isuzu D-Max, another pickup truck. So the ASEAN region loves pickups!
Latin America is a region that includes Mexico, Central America and South America. The best-selling car model in Latin America in 2021 was also the Toyota Hilux. Another pickup-loving part of the world.
Europe is a continent that consists of 44 countries. The best-selling car model in Europe in 2023 was the Tesla Model Y.
North America is a continent that includes Canada, the United States and Mexico. The best-selling car model in North America in 2022 was the Ford F-Series,.
Africa again favours pickups and again the HiLux is the best-selling car.
The world is a planet that has about 200 countries and territories. The best-selling car model in the world in 2022 was the Toyota Corolla, a compact car.
Why is the world average a small car but the most popular in terms of single models almost always a pickup? Because second, third, and fourth places do tend to be dominated by popular small cars around the world. #weirdCarMastodon
yeah, I know I excluded Australia and much of Asia. But I didn't have the data in front of me :) please feel free to respond with numbers... I fully suspect that HiLux will dominate Australia too, and Corolla much of Asia.
