The auto industry is changing on several fronts at once. Electric cars and hybrids are taking a bigger share of new car sales. Tariffs have added costs for automakers that ship cars and parts across borders. US buyers face high prices and large loans. Here are the latest statistics on production, sales, prices, electric vehicles, trade, jobs and the biggest automakers.

Are Car Sales Dropping in the US?
These figures cover new car and light truck sales in the US.
In BEA’s sales data, “light vehicles” are autos plus light trucks. BEA defines light trucks as trucks up to 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, including minivans and SUVs.
12. 10.67 million new light vehicles were sold in the US from January to August 2026, down from 10.97 million a year earlier (BEA, Motor Vehicle Unit Retail Sales, Table 6). The figures are not seasonally adjusted.
13. 16.26 million new light vehicles were sold in the US in 2025, up from 15.85 million in 2024 (BEA, Motor Vehicle Unit Retail Sales, Table 6). The figures count cars and light trucks, before seasonal adjustment.
A seasonally adjusted annual rate shows how many vehicles would sell in a full year if one month’s pace held, after removing normal seasonal swings.
14. 16.76 million was the seasonally adjusted annual rate of US light vehicle sales in August 2026 (BEA, Motor Vehicle Unit Retail Sales, Table 6). Including heavy trucks, the rate was 17.19 million.
