This is a list of vehicle nameplate sales figures. This incomplete list is not a ranking, and is neither definitive, nor comprehensive. Wherever possible, references to verify the claims have been included, however even figures given by manufacturers may have a degree of inaccuracy. Also note that a single vehicle can be sold concurrently under several nameplates in different markets; in these circumstances manufacturers often provide only cumulative sales figures for all models and this has been noted in each case. Vehicles listed in italics are those who achieved their figures through sales of a single generation without any major redesign.
