Tesla Passes Audi To Become 4th-Largest Luxury Brand In U.S.

Tesla is gaining on the top contenders: BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz.
We'll start by saying that many people, including those on the Tesla team, don't consider its cars luxury vehicles, but that's not the point here.Tesla calls its cars "premium," since they're more expensive than most competing vehicles and arguably more "premium" than many mainstream, non-luxury cars. Nonetheless, Tesla's cars are lumped into the luxury category by automotive reviewing websites, as well as almost all automotive rankings and awards.
Despite the fact that Tesla's cars aren't nearly as nice inside as cars made by German luxury brands, Tesla is making big waves in the segment on our shores. In fact, Tesla just passed Audi as the fourth-largest luxury car brand in the U.S. based on 2020 registration data. While Tesla is still behind the top 3 luxury automakers in the States, it doesn't have too far to go to catch up and surpass its rivals.
Tesla registered about 200,500 cars in the U.S. in 2020. Meanwhile, Audi registered about 183,600. In 2019, Audi registered nearly 50,000 more vehicles in the U.S. than Tesla.
The top three luxury automakers in the U.S. by 2020 registration data are BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes-Benz, in that order. According to details from Experian's Automotive News Research & Data Center, which was shared by Automotive News, 2020 luxury vehicle registration data for the top five luxury brands in the U.S. is as follows:
- BMW: 287,259
- Lexus: 271,384
- Mercedes-Benz*: 265,600
- Tesla: 200,561
- Audi: 183,594
Automotive News points out that the fact that Tesla is only 65,000 registrations behind Mercedes-Benz is quite compelling. This is especially true since Tesla only sells EVs. These other companies have the advantage of including gas-powered cars in the registration data. Executive analyst for Autotrader told Automotive News:
"Tesla was first to go all-in on EVs; it really was the only game in town. Innovation and technology along with sophistication is a winning combo."
Whether or not you believe Tesla deserves to be called a luxury automaker matters not. The fact that the relatively new, U.S.-based electric automaker is gaining steam on legendary legacy automakers is compelling.
