JAKARTA - Many predict that the popular RAV4 model from Toyota or the F-150 from Ford will be the most produced car in 2023. Unfortunately, the prediction is wrong because the champion is the Tesla Model Y.

Reporting from Autoblogging, March 24, French EV research firm Inovev has just released a comprehensive study on vehicle production and registration in 2023. The study found that the Tesla Model Y managed to overtake the Toyota RAV4 and Ford F-Series trucks as the most-produced vehicles in 2023. Here are the top ten of the list:

Interestingly, BYD, which places one of its models in the top 10, has four other models in the top 25 rankings: Song, Qin, Yuan, and Dolphin.

While rankings below other majors, productions of Badminton Silverado and Toyota Corolla Cross are recorded to be close to the Model 3 production figures.

Toyota has five models, while Honda has four models in the top 25. The brands of the United States and South Korea each place two models, while the German brand secures four positions.

It is important to note that this production figure is different from the sales figures. Even so, Tesla Model Y also won sales with around 1.23 million units sold last year.

It was also stated that this figure does not cover the total production or sales of car manufacturers. For example, Chinese company BYD claimed to have produced more than 3 million vehicles last year, far exceeding 1.84 million Tesla cars. Significant price differences and BYD that have not been officially sold in the United States make direct comparisons difficult.

BYD produces other hybrid and non-EV cars. However, if you only focus on electric models, BYD has a dominant presence in its domestic market.

Inovev found that BYD's market share in China reached 25 percent, while Tesla was only 15 percent. Even so, Tesla's achievement in placing Model Y as the most production vehicle globally and Model 3 in tenth place remains impressive.
