Slowest Selling Cars in America: Focus on Stellantis
Knowing which vehicles are piling up at car dealerships could help you get the best price and improve your leverage during negotiations. Right now, your best bet is to choose a Stellantis (parent company of Jeep, Ram, Dodge, Fiat, and Maserati) vehicle, as they make up half of the top-ten slowest selling vehicles according to CarEdge. But which Stellantis vehicle is languishing at dealers the most right now?
Overview of Slowest Selling Vehicles
It turns out to be the newest addition to the Dodge lineup: the Hornet compact crossover. Even with its appealing starting price of $42,530, dealers just can’t get them off their lots quickly enough. According to CarEdge dealer inventory data, the Market Day Supply—or the number of days it would take to sell all the models available based on its current sales rate—of the Dodge Hornet is up to 428 days. Dodge has 14,596 Hornets on dealer lots but has only moved 1,536 in the last 45 days.
Other Slow Selling Stellantis Vehicles
Similarly, other Stellantis vehicles are facing sluggish sales. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer shares the same 428-day supply with 2,214 units on lots and only 233 sold in the past 45 days. The Mercedes-Benz EQB follows closely as the third worst, showing a 427-day supply (3,546 on lots and only 373 sold), while the Maserati Levante ranks as the third slowest seller at 410 days supply (602 units, 66 sold). The Lincoln Aviator also struggles with a 392-day supply (8,153 units, 935 sold). Interestingly, the Jeep Grand Wagoneer L is performing better than its regular counterpart, sitting at a supply of 354 days with 1,218 on dealer lots and 155 sold within the last 45 days.
Current Market Trends
If you’re curious about the fast sellers in the market, the top three spots are dominated by Toyota: the Highlander at 23 days, RAV4 at 30 days, and Camry at 31 days of inventory. Of the fastest-selling vehicles, Toyota and Lexus capture six out of the top ten. The Honda Civic is the fourth fastest with a 34-day supply. Remarkably, a Stellantis product, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, shares a similar market day supply level with the Civic. The only American vehicle on the fast-selling list is the Chevrolet Traverse, with a 37-day supply.
