Under the influence of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the U.S. auto market sales in 2020 will be very low. A total of 14.57 million new cars were sold throughout the year, a year-on-year decrease of 14.6%.

1. Ford F-150
pickup truck has always been the most popular model among American consumers. The top three in the US car sales list in 2020 are unsurprisingly swept by full-size pickup trucks.
Ford F-150 still sits firmly on the throne of the sales champion in the American auto market, and the Ford F series has won the sales champion in the American market for many years. This is also the reason why Ford China has forcibly introduced the F-150 into the country in recent years against the domestic policy of not fully liberalizing pickup trucks.
The total sales of Ford F-150 in the United States in 2020 will be 787,400, a year-on-year decrease of 12.2%. The decline in sales was mainly due to the shutdown of factories due to the new crown pneumonia epidemic. At the same time, Ford is transforming production facilities to update F series models, resulting in insufficient production capacity.
2. Chevrolet Silverado
Chevrolet Silverado is also a veteran pickup truck in the hearts of Americans. In 2020, it has achieved 594,100 sales in the United States, an increase of 3.2% year-on-year. The terminal preferential margin of nearly 26,000 yuan given by GM is a great reason for the increase in sales of Silverado in adversity.
Imagine buying a full-size pickup truck equipped with a 6.6-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 395 kilowatts and a peak torque of 629 Nm with a starting price of 232,000 yuan. This is an incredible thing.
In addition, the Silverado on sale is also available in a diesel version. It is equipped with a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel engine with a maximum power of 327 kW and an extremely exaggerated peak torque of 1233 N·m. It is matched with the newly developed 10-speed GM. automatic transmission.
3. Ram 1500
The fifth-generation Ram 1500 was launched two years ago, and it is still able to achieve the third highest sales volume in the highly competitive pickup truck market. The FCA Group naturally has its unique secrets.
If the Ford F-150 is known for being rugged and unrestrained, then in addition to the strong performance parameters of the previous generations of Ram, there is also an extra level of refinement. Configurations such as mini mudguards, configurable center console, 8-foot integrated bed, etc. make the Ram 1500 more diverse. The new car
can not only cross muddy roads and move goods to the furniture market, but also provide entertainment, office space and temporary accommodation for guest appearances.
4. Toyota RAV-4
After the completion of the replacement, the more rigid styling style of Toyota RAV-4 can be said to be "in the bullseye" for Americans who love muscle cars and big pickups. This brand-new RAV-4, born under the TNGA framework, fulfills its mission and has achieved the highest sales of the SUV in the United States. In 2020, it sold 430,300 vehicles in the United States.
Of course, in addition to the more hard-line style, relying on the new architecture, RAV-4 also has a very obvious improvement in other aspects. For example, the introduction of the electric four-wheel drive system under the TNGA-K architecture, coupled with the blessing of the already mature Atkinson cycle engine, these brand-new technologies have jointly created good sales belonging to the RAV-4.
5. Honda CR-V
If there is any competitor who knows RAV-4 best, then it must be Honda CR-V. They fought from America to Europe, and from Europe to Asia. In 2020, which has just ended, the RAV-4, which was born under the new architecture, still wins.
Honda CR-V 2020 in the United StatesThe total sales volume is 333,500 vehicles. The CR-V was upgraded 4 years ago. The blessing of the Earth Dream Engine did not allow it to defeat the RAV-4 born under the TNGA architecture.
According to the current situation, if the mid-term change does not show some sincerity, sales in recent years will probably be suppressed by Toyota RAV-4.
6. Toyota Camry
After SUV, Toyota has won the US car sales champion. Compared with domestic compact cars, Americans still prefer to buy medium and large cars. It sold 53,600 more than the eleventh-ranked compact car Toyota Corolla, at 294,300.
In fact, as early as 1983, Camry started its export business to the United States. To the American people, the Camry is to the American people what Santana is to us.
In a large number of American car media survey reports, one of the "most reliable vehicles" is Toyota Camry . If you go to the US used car market for a round, Camry can be seen everywhere.
7. Chevrolet Explorer
are both SUV models. In addition to buying Japanese cars, the American people naturally want to support their own car companies. Chevrolet Equinox sold 270,900 vehicles in the United States in 2020, down 21.7% year-on-year.
Chevrolet Equinox is the domestic Chevrolet Explorer , but the Equinox introduced to the country has been reduced by a certain percentage. The Chevrolet Equinox in the US market is still a medium and large SUV. Moreover, this SUV, which was launched in the United States as early as 2005, is also deeply loved by the American people.
Although the Chinese people are not cold to this car, they generally feel that the interior of the Explorer is too "plastic", but the American people don't seem to care about that. As long as the car is good to drive, the power of 2.0T+9AT is enough. .
8. Honda Civic
This is the second year in a row Honda Civic has beaten Toyota Corolla to rank first in the US compact car sales rankings, and is the only compact car in the top ten US car sales in 2020 .
was awarded the "North American Car of the Year" and "IIHS Crash Test" as early as when the tenth-generation Civic was first launched in 2016. The Americans' love for this car can be imagined.
Honda directly put hatchback and sedan models on the market at the same time in the United States. Compared with the introduction of the hatchback Civic in China until 2020, it naturally seems to pay more attention to local American consumers. The Civic can succeed in North America as a compact car. Key factor.
9. GMC Sierra
GMC Sierra is also a member of GM. In 2020, a total of 253 million vehicles were sold in the United States, an increase of 8.9% year-on-year. The replacement of GMC Sierra was completed in 2018. The replacement is mainly in the direction of light weight. The car provides a set of carbon fiber cargo boxes as an option. After the optional carbon fiber cargo box is installed, the curb weight can be reduced by 28 kg. It is also the first time such a service has been launched in the pickup market.
In addition, the new generation of GMC Sierra has reduced its own weight by 163 kg compared to the previous generation. However, the higher prices compared to Ford and Chevrolet limit the brand's sales.
10. The current Toyota Tacoma
has been on the market for more than 5 years. The car is at the end of the product cycle. It is not easy to catch the top ten tail of the US car sales list in 2020. Its sales in the United States in 2020 will be 238,800. .
may be relatively unfamiliar to domestic consumers, and it is positioned as a medium-sized pickup. In fact,It has only gained attention in the US market in the past two years. Tacoma evolved from the earlier Toyota Hilux, and it was originally a product of the same platform as Hilux.
2020 Tacoma has a 2.7-liter inline four-cylinder and 3.5-liter V6 engine to choose from. The 3.5-liter V6 engine has a maximum power of 207 kilowatts and a peak torque of 359 N·m, matching a 6-speed automatic transmission.
