World Best Selling Midsize Cars segment shacked up by the launch on BYD Qin L, an instant success. While the “old” Toyota Camry confirms the leadership, the EV launched during the year landed in 10th place, claiming for leadership.
Looking at the Mid-Size class (in Europe D Class), with sedan or hatch vehicles just over 4.5 meters, the global ranking is a Toyota affair since years, thanks to the Camry, a model sold in over 110 countries and reporting success year after year, generation after generation.
In 2024 the Toyota Camry was the best selling mid-size car with 579,733 units sold (-9.2%), the 7.2% of segment share.
The other models in the podium are quite recent and both purely electric. Indeed, in second place ranked the Tesla Model 3 which sold 488,699 units (-1.6%), followed by the BYD Qin Plus with 480,053 sales (+10.6%).
