Toyota’s Corolla and Camry sedans posted solid US growth despite SUV dominance. Discover the numbers and future plans – read more now!
Toyota wrapped up 2025 with an impressive 8.1% rise in North American sales, moving nearly 2.15 million vehicles. While SUVs and pickups continue to dominate the lineup, the company’s sedan range remains a robust contributor.
Overall North American Performance
According to Motor1, Toyota’s balanced portfolio helped it outpace many rivals. The surge was driven largely by steady demand for its flagship sedans – the Corolla and Camry – which proved that buyers still value practicality and value.
Corolla Keeps Lead
The Corolla (excluding the Corolla Cross) climbed 6.5% to 248,088 units in the United States, reinforcing its status as the best‑selling Toyota sedan. The model’s reputation for reliability and affordable ownership continues to attract a broad demographic.
Camry Holds Strong
The Camry posted a modest 2% increase, reaching 316,185 units. This performance solidifies the Camry as Toyota’s second‑best seller in the US, trailing only the popular RAV4.
Hybrid Models Surge
2025 also saw record‑breaking sales for the Corolla Hybrid, GR Corolla, and Camry Hybrid. Even the Prius, once the flagship eco‑car, posted a healthy 26.3% jump to 56,488 units, underscoring continued consumer interest in efficient powertrains.
Lexus Sedan Updates
Luxury arm Lexus recorded a 4.1% rise for the IS, delivering 19,714 units in the US. However, the older ES model slipped 7.5% to 39,926 units, and the flagship LS experienced a dramatic half‑drop to just 1,082 units amid speculation about its future.
Why Sedans Still Matter
Motor1 notes that when a brand offers the right product mix, sedans remain an attractive segment. A reliable, straightforward sedan priced competitively can still sway buyers, even as SUVs and trucks command a larger share of the market.
Looking Ahead
Toyota plans a significant refresh for the next‑generation Corolla, including a fully electric variant. This development is expected to boost sedan sales further in the mainstream US market, proving that the sedan’s appeal is far from over.
As the US automotive landscape evolves, Toyota’s balanced focus on sedans, hybrids, and its expanding electric lineup positions the company to reap “sweet fruit” across multiple vehicle categories.
