Best Selling Car Worldwide In Q1: The Tesla Model Y
Last year, Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted that the Model Y would become the world’s best selling car in 2023. While the statement was considered a lofty goal at the time, it appears that the electric SUV was the best selling vehicle worldwide in Q1, marking the first electric vehicle in history to top global sales charts.
According to the data, Tesla sold 267,200 Model Y units in Q1, representing a 69 percent increase year over year. Following the Model Y were four Toyota vehicles — the Corolla, the Hilux pickup, the RAV4, and the Camry, in that order. The Toyota Corolla sold 256,400 units, while the Hilux pickup truck sold 214,700 units. Next was the RAV4 with 211,000, and then the Camry with 166,200.
The Tesla Model Y performed particularly well in three markets in Q1: China, the US, and Europe. Comparatively, the Corolla’s Q1 sales show a roughly 29% drop in the Chinese market, and a 10% drop in the US. The current generation of the Corolla was released in March 2018, while the Model Y debuted just a year later in March 2019.
