Toyota RAV4 Knocks Tesla Model Y Off Top Spot as World's Best-Selling Car
2025-06-29
The Toyota RAV4 has dethroned the Tesla Model Y as the world's best-selling car in 2024, according to JATO Dynamics automotive analyst Felipe Munoz. The RAV4 sold 1,187,000 units globally, a 11% increase year-on-year, beating the Model Y by fewer than 3,000 vehicles. This marks a reversal from 2023, when the Model Y led. The RAV4's success is particularly impressive considering it's in its final year before a 2026 model refresh, and Tesla's production pauses also impacted Model Y sales. The results highlight the continued strength of traditional automakers.
