The traditional sedan isn't dead. As a case in point, the Ford Fusion ranks in the 20-spot among America's bestselling vehicles. The four-door dies for the 2020 model year, though.
The venerable Jeep Cherokee is the first of many crossovers that you can find among America's 20 top-selling vehicles. The Cherokee received an updated look for the 2019 model year, and it has apparently been a hit with buyers.
After receiving a refresh for the 2019 model year, the Nissan Altima continues to enjoy strong sales. Once again, the lower spots on this list indicate that there are plenty of Americans who still want a traditional sedan rather than opting for the popular crossover segment.
The Nissan Sentra (in sporty Nismo trim above) shows that there's still a market for small sedans in a market where crossovers and pickups now dominate.
There's a new Toyota Highlander for the 2020 model year (pictured above). The designers smooth out its shape to create a less angular crossover than the outgoing version, and the new appearance makes the Highlander look a little more like the smaller RAV4.
The Jeep Wrangler remains one of the most off-road-capable SUVs at its price point. Many of the folks buying them likely don't intend to go rock crawling very often (if ever), but we suspect the rugged driving ability is part of what propels the Wrangler into its position here.
The Toyota Tacoma is a venerable name in the midsized pickup market, and people still love it. A new generation of the truck is still a few years away but reportedly makes the switch to a new unified platform for all of the brand's pickups.
The Jeep Grand Cherokee (in range-topping Trackhawk form above) ranks thirteenth here. Jeep hasn't given the model any significant upgrades in several years, but the lack of changes hasn't kept people from buying them.
In 2018, Honda had to cut Accord production and offer lease deals for the sedan. The four-door is still a strong seller, though, because twelfth place on this ranking is nothing to be ashamed of.
The 2020 Ford Escape arrives as a new generation of the popular crossover before the end of the year. However, the arrival of a completely reworked vehicle isn't keeping customers from buying the current one.
A new generation of the Toyota Corolla arrived for the 2020 model year wearing a more modern look. It also comes standard a pre-collision warning system with automatic front braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights.
The latest Chevrolet Equinox is significantly lighter than its predecessor and is one of the few vehicles in the segment that offers a diesel engine option. Spy shots reveal that the Bowtie currently has a refresh under development.
The Rogue is Nissan's highest placed vehicle on this list. Sales are strong, especially considering that a new generation isn't too far away.
Toyota actually cut back production of the Camry due to the popularity of crossovers, but the sedan has still been finding plenty of buyers. To keep the four-door exciting, the company introduced the TRD model with bits like a sporty body kit, black trim, and revised suspension
You may notice a trend in the last few entries. Crossovers are dominating, and the Honda CR-V is no different. The model hasn't received many upgrades since the 2017 model year introduction of the latest generation, but the lack of changes haven't deterred customers.
The 2019 Toyota RAV4 wears a far more visually interesting look, and buyers are clearly responding to it. There are a lot of reasons that this crossover might appeal to customers, including an award-winning interior and the ability to specify the vehicle to be a mild commuter or a somewhat rugged occasional off-roader.
The asterisk above is due to the way that Chevrolet reports its pickup sales. Ram and Ford both factor their heavy-duty models into the numbers for their trucks. However, the Bowtie breaks them out for total deliveries of 194,426 units of the standard Silverado and 61,037 units of the Silverado HD in the first half of the 2019.
It didn't seem fair to knock the Silverado down one place simply because Chevrolet reports the truck's deliveries differently than the two primary competitors.
Ram has reason to celebrate because its pickups now hold the number two overall sales spot in the United States. The good news for the trucks could keep on coming this year with the likely introduction of the Hellcat-powered Rebel TRX.
The Ford F-150 has been America's bestselling vehicle for 42 years. Looking at the current numbers, it appears that the truck could retain the title for the 43rd year. Spy shots reveal that the Blue Oval already has the next-generation model under development.
Ford and General Motors now report their vehicle sales quarterly, rather than updating the number every month. The new method makes the July delivery report more important than ever because the figures finally provide an accurate look at the entire American market through the first half of the year.
