Toyota sold 2.332 million vehicles in the United States in 2021, compared to 2.218 million for General Motors, according to two automakers. GM sales in the U.S. were down 13% for 2021 and down 43% in the fourth quarter while Toyota was up 10% a year.
General Motors said today that it expects economic growth in the U.S. to increase total sales of the U.S. light vehicle industry from about 15 million in 2021 to about 16 million in 2022.
GM spokesman Jim Kane said the Detroit automaker had a very strong U.S. sales year in SUVs and vans, as it focused on profitability, and as the semiconductor supply improves, so will sales.
The Japanese company Toyota said that although it is happy with the achievement, it is not proud of it. Senior Vice President Jack Hollis said in a statement that the carmaker was “grateful” for its loyal customers, but “being No. 1 is never the focus or priority of the company.”
