Toyota’s sedan sales in the US remain robust in 2025, with Corolla and Camry leading growth despite the SUV boom. Discover the full story now!
In a year when trucks and SUVs dominate headlines, Toyota’s sedan lineup proved that the classic four‑door can still capture the hearts of American drivers. According to Motor1, the Japanese automaker closed 2025 with an impressive 8.1% sales increase in North America, moving nearly 2.15 million vehicles.
Corolla Keeps the Momentum Going
The iconic Toyota Corolla posted a 6.5% rise, delivering 248,088 units in the United States – a figure that excludes the Corolla Cross crossover. Its hybrid sibling, along with the sporty GR Corolla, set record‑high sales, underscoring the market’s appetite for fuel‑efficient, reliable transportation.
Camry Holds Strong as a Best‑Seller
The Camry, long a staple of the sedan segment, enjoyed a modest 2% growth, translating to 316,185 units sold. This performance cements the Camry as Toyota’s second‑best seller in the country, trailing only the wildly popular RAV4.
Hybrid Success and Prius Resurgence
Hybrid versions of both the Corolla and Camry continued to gain traction, while the Prius—once the poster child of eco‑driving—still managed to sell 56,488 units, a striking 26.3% increase year‑over‑year.
Lexus: Luxury Sedans Face Mixed Fortunes
On the premium side, Lexus reported a 4.1% rise in sales of the IS sedan, moving 19,714 units. However, the older ES model saw a 7.5% drop to 39,926 cars, and the flagship LS suffered a steep decline, with sales halved to just 1,082 units amid speculation about its future.
Why Sedans Still Matter
Motor1 points out that when manufacturers deliver the right blend of reliability, simplicity, and price, sedans remain an attractive choice despite the SUV surge. A well‑priced, dependable sedan can out‑shine a flashier crossover for many buyers looking for everyday practicality.
Toyota’s Strategic Focus
While many competitors have shifted resources toward SUVs and trucks, Toyota has continued to invest in its sedan heritage. The strategy is paying off, especially in the United States, where the next‑generation Corolla—featuring a significant redesign and an all‑electric variant—promises to extend this growth trajectory.
As the automotive landscape evolves, Toyota’s commitment to strong sedan offerings demonstrates that “the road less taken” can still lead to success.
