largest car manufacturer 2023

In 2023, the biggest carmaker on the planet was Toyota, again, clocking roughly 11.2 million vehicles sold worldwide—yes, that’s more cars than you’ve had hot dinners.

Volkswagen Group trailed in second with around 9.2 million, followed by the usual suspects like Hyundai–Kia and the Stellantis smorgasbord.

Toyota’s dominance leaned on dependable favourites—Corolla, RAV4, Hilux—and a tidal wave of hybrids, while pure EVs remained a polite side dish.

So if you guessed Toyota, collect your imaginary trophy and a sensible hat; the spreadsheet overlords confirm it.
