Well into 2023, JATO Dynamics publishes its full global sales report for last year when a total of 79.4 million new vehicles were sold around the planet. This number represents a two-percent decrease compared to 2021 with core markets such as North America, Europe, and China seeing declines in 2022. On the other hand, emerging markets like India, the Middle East, South East Asia, and Africa all registered increases almost completely offsetting the decline in other regions. But this isn’t the most interesting piece of information from the report.
According to data obtained by JATO, the Toyota RAV4 was the best-selling model in the world last year with more than one million units delivered to customers, 43 percent of which were sold in the United States and Canada. The crossover was followed by the Toyota Corolla with approximately 992,000 sales last year and third came the Tesla Model Y with 747,000 global registrations. Overall, Toyota had five of the world’s best-selling models last year. Ford, Nissan, and Honda placed one model each, while Tesla had two models in the Top 10 list.
