Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America - March 2017

In the lead-up to the now ongoing launch of the all-new, second-generation Jeep Compass, the disappearance of the outgoing Jeep Compass caused the Jeep Compass to be America's worst-selling vehicle in March 2017, the third consecutive month in which the Compass's year-over-year decline was worst among volume vehicles.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles products also ranked second and seventh on the list. Both of those vehicles, the Chrysler 200 and Jeep Patriot, have been officially killed off. 

GCBC has also compiled lists of the 20 worst-selling vehicles in America regardless of volume and the 20 lowest-volume vehicles. But it's the higher-volume vehicles that caused the overall market to decline modestly in March 2017. The 20 vehicles on the first list below – Compass to TLX – combined to lose 70,575 sales in March 2017, year-over-year.

Top 20 Worst-Selling Vehicles In America - February 2017

As media drives in the new, second-generation Jeep Compass reveal a shocking turnaround and a competitive, tweener-sized utility vehicle, sales of the outgoing model predictably plummet.

Among volume vehicles, the Jeep Compass's 69% plunge made the oft-derided first-gen Compass America's worst-selling vehicle in February 2017. The next-worst-selling vehicle in America was the Jeep Patriot, the Compass twin that won't be replaced in concert with the Compass. Globally, the Compass was traditionally the favoured member of the duo, though the story was ifferent in Jeep's home market.

Two minivans, two midsize cars, and four Nissans also made their presence known among America's most rapidly declining new vehicles in February. Setting aside the 2500-sale minimum for GCBC's worst seller list, discontinued models headlined the list of America's 20 worst-selling vehicles regardless of volume. Cancelled models grabbed the ten top spots. GCBC has also issued a list of the 20 lowest-volume vehicles in February.
