When it comes to buying a new car, it is extremely important to do your research.
For some, it is simply the glitz and glamour of owning the top name brand sports car, or the finest looking car with the fine interior and exterior amenities. But, for most buyers today, it is about perceived value. The safety of a car is one of the top factors in the purchase decision. But, buyers also want a car that will last for 10, 15, 20 years or more. Buyers also want the safety features, the new interior design, and the cars that get great gas mileage.
Of course sticker price is important, as is purchasing from a trusted manufacturer in the market. Regardless of what it is that you are looking for in a new car, these are the top selling models, around the world, in the current 2014 calendar year.
10. VW Golf
Coming in with 648,000 sales over the course of the year, the Golf is an entry level vehicle from the notable luxurious line which VW tends to produce. This is one of the three top selling vehicles in the VW family, which the company hopes will push them to the leading spot, in terms of manufacturing, and sales around the world, by the year 2018.9. Chevy Cruze
With 691,000 vehicles sold, the total has nearly doubled from that which were sold in 2011, just a few years back. This shows not only that Chevy (Ford and GM) have made a comeback from the recession, and issues with development, but also that their vehicles are being purchased outside of the US today as well. It is enjoying rather high sales numbers outside of the US today, which was not the case just a few years back.8. Toyota Camry
With 746,000 vehicles being sold in 2014, this is the eight car on the list. Although it has fallen a few steps back, and lands in quite a few spots behind the leading Corolla, it is still one of the most highly sold vehicles in the world, and by the Toyota family. It is also America’s best selling, mid luxury sedan, so the company has been continually upgrading, and creating changes, which American buyers seem to be interested in. And, with a reasonable price tag for the base model, you can’t go wrong with this trusted manufacturer name.7. VW Jetta
Although this is considered a luxury class vehicle, and comes in at a higher price rangethan most of the vehicles on the list, the German made auto comes in with 745,000 units sold in the calendar year. VW has the plan to become the largest retailer in the world by 2018, and although they still have to do quite a bit to catch up with Toyota, it has become a more popular model, especially for those who are in the market for mid-luxury style vehicle today.6. Ford Fiesta
Another vehicle from the Ford family is on the list; the Fiesta has sold over 753,000 units in the 2014 calendar year. The vehicle is the leader in the new development, and strategies of marketing that were being introduced to the world by Ford this year. A slightly smaller sedan coupe, has four doors, but offers a little less rear seating space, and also comes in with a much lower price tag than a few of the models on this list because of this.5. Kia Rio
With celebrity endorsement by Blake Griffin, one of the most well known NBA stars, Kia has really taken a leap in sales over the past few years, namely in the US. Having sold just over 815,000 models up to date this year, this is the fifth highest seller of the year. It has recently been redesigned, and the interior has seen a major change, which is likely to be one of the main reasons for jumps in sale, in the US, and a few other markets around the world as well.4. Ford Focus
Of course Ford would top the list of the top ten; coming in with a total of 919,000 models sold to date, it is one of the lowest entry prices you will find. The US made vehicle has seengreat overhauls over the years; with new leather interior, and a new, updated interior, the car is trying to compete with the likes of Toyota, and other trusted names in the industry, for the sedan market in the US, and worldwide.3. Wuling Sunshine
Not one of the most well known names in the US, but this vehicle make and model comes in at the third spot, having sold nearly 950,000 models to date. It is a GM joint venture vehicle, and is used in the Chinese market, as a vehicle that is used to transport both people and goods. The box-like design, and rugged looking exterior, make it a unique, never before seen model.2. Hyundai Elantra
With 1.01 million copies sold, it is quite close to reaching the top spot which has been held by the Corolla for many years. Hyundai has become a well known name over the past several years. It features a sporty exterior, seating for 5, and the new, upgraded interior is something that buyers are looking for in today’s market as well. A rather low entry price is also a nice feature for those who are on a budget.1. Toyota Corolla
Sure, the natural disasters over the past few years have hurt the Japanese manufacturer, but the Corolla has been in the top ten list for over a decade. It still remains the top seller, coming in with just about 1.02 million copies having been sold worldwide, through just the first half of the 2014 calendar year. A great sticker price, safety, and trusted Toyota name don’t hurt when it comes to being the leader of the pack.
Whether it is an affordable price tag, a well known manufacturer name, or the luxurious interior finishes, these are the top ten models, for the current calendar year of 2014. Although a few of the cars are new to the list, especially from US manufacturers, the Toyota name has been atop the list for several years. For those who are shopping for a new sedan, entry level vehicle, or even luxurious features, any of these models will provide something for you to consider, when you are on the market for a new vehicle in the 2014 calendar year.
