After years of turmoil, new-car sales are settling back into normalcy, and some new models snuck onto the list of bestsellers through the first three quarters of 2024.

In America, when compact cars are posting big increases and many SUV models are down, you have to wonder if we're living in the upside down. But in truth, new-car sales are finally settling back into normalcy after years of supply-chain issues. Prices are still high, but inventories are back at typical levels, which should benefit shoppers. Here we're ranking the 25 bestselling new cars sold in America through the first three quarters of 2024. You'll find several models on this list that haven't appeared in the top 25 before, and we'll be updating this ranking when sales are released every quarter to see how things continue to shake out.

The HR-V is the CR-V's little sibling, and it's becoming one of Honda's core models in terms of sales volume. Sales were up 32 percent through the first three quarters of the year.

While it can't hold a candle to the domestic Big Three pickups in terms of sales, the redesigned Tundra is having a good year. Its sales are up 27 percent compared with last year.

The Sportage is in a bit of a sibling rivalry with the related Hyundai Tucson. The Kia is losing in the sales race, but is gaining ground with strong results for the first three quarters.

While the mid-size Altima didn't even make it onto this list, the compact Sentra gained big. Its sales were up 39 percent through the first three quarters, making it the second bestselling Nissan.

It's no secret we love the Accord: it's won 10Best more than any other vehicle, and it's our top-ranked mid-size sedan. But still, sales declined 18 percent through the first three quarters of the year.

As arguably the most quintessential Subaru model, the Outback is a consistently strong seller. This SUV-ified station wagon was up 3 percent compared with last year.

The Tacoma finds itself back on this list of bestsellers after a tumultuous changeover period that saw sales dip significantly in the first half of the year. Numbers have picked up again in the third quarter, but it's still down 30 percent compared with this time last year.

The new 2025 Forester helped this model grow by 22 percent in the first three quarters. The outgoing generation will live on in Wilderness trim for the time being even as the new model has now started to arrive at dealerships.

The Crosstrek is back in its spot as the bestselling Subaru, beating out the Forester and Outback through the third quarter. Its sales were up 15 percent over this time last year.

Equinox sales are down as the popular compact SUV undergoes a changeover into a new generation. The new 2025 Equinox is now arriving with a new look inside and out. This total does not include the Equinox EV, which sold 10,785 units.

The Tucson compact SUV continues to be the bestselling Hyundai, although sales were down 5 percent compared with this time last year. An updated model for 2025 (pictured here) could help turn that around.

The Explorer is dueling it out with the Jeep Grand Cherokee to be the bestselling mid-size SUV in the country, but it's falling a bit short. An updated 2025 model (pictured) is starting to arrive at dealerships.

The new entry-level Trax SUV, which won a 10Best award for 2024, is proving that an attractive base price can go a long way. Starting at under $22,000, the new-for-2024 Trax is now one of the bestselling Chevys, even outpacing the Equinox on this list.

The Grand Cherokee mid-size SUV continues to outsell its stablemates in the Jeep lineup, and it's Stellantis' second bestselling vehicle after the Ram pickup. Sales were down 12 percent through the first three quarters.

Sales of the Corolla compact car grew by 7 percent through the first three quarters, but it wasn't enough to catch its close rival, the Honda Civic. We'll continue to watch this rivalry throughout the year to see who comes out on top.

The Civic was up by 28 percent, which made it the bestselling compact car in the country and was even enough to earn it a place in the top 10 bestsellers. A Civic Hybrid joins the lineup for the 2025 model year.

Rogue sales have been up and down so far this year, posting a 10 percent decrease compared with the first three quarters of last year. A styling update arrived for 2024 that also brought some new features.

The Camry's top spot among passenger cars (vehicles that aren't SUVs or pickup trucks) is as sure as the tides. Sales were up 4 percent through the first half, and that's likely a mix of the old model and the new hybrid-only 2025 Camry (pictured).

While sales of some other full-size pickups were down, the Sierra lineup gained 6 percent compared with last year. This includes both the light-duty Sierra 1500 and the heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 models, but not the Sierra EV, which sold 387 units.

The Ram is struggling so far this year, with sales down 19 percent compared with this time last year. Perhaps the arrival of the refreshed 2025 model, along with the Ramcharger plug-in hybrid and electric Ram REV will help.

Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
