Japanese auto giant Toyota managed to become the best-selling car brand worldwide in 2021. The company had sold a total of 9.56 million cars. Shared data for 2022 showed that the company was at the top again.

According to the statement made by Toyota, the company managed to dominate all automobile sales in the world this year. Toyota sold 10 million 483 thousand 24 cars in total throughout 2022. Volkswagen AG was the closest competitor to Toyota.

Volkswagen took second place, but down:

Volkswagen also shared its own data with Toyota. Volkswagen’s picture, on the other hand, was not upwards like Toyota. The German auto giant saw a decline in its sales this year as well. Volkswagen, which sold a total of 8.88 million cars in 2021, sold 8.3 million cars in 2022. Sales fell 7% year over year. The main reason for this decline in automobile sales was of course the disruptions in the supply chain.

Tesla, which is considered the leading company of the electric car industry, stated that it delivered a total of 1.3 million vehicles in 2022. Although Tesla is the most valuable automotive company in the world in terms of market value, it seems to be far behind the well-established companies of the sector when it comes to vehicle sales.
