Another month has passed, and a handful of automakers have reported their May sales results. Hybrids were a strong driver of growth, as the average price of gas remains well above $4 a gallon.
This has been huge for brands like Hyundai and Kia, which offer a range of hybrid and electric vehicles, but last month wasn’t a success for all. Ford saw sales falter last month, continuing a trend, while the affordable Maverick stands out as a popular model.
The auto industry is facing numerous hurdles right now, including tariffs that are upending products and plans. There’s still plenty of time for the market to change, but until then, here are the May auto sales winners and losers.
