General Motors loses US car crown for first time in 90 years, as Toyota overtakes 

With 2.3m units sold in the US in 2021, Toyota narrowly outpaced GM’s 2.2m

Toyota has overtaken General Motors as the number one car seller in the US.

For the first time since 1931, General Motors is not the top-selling carmaker in the US.

The Detroit-based company has lost its crown to Japanese rival Toyota, which boosted sales 10% last year despite a 28% decline in the fourth quarter.
