Ford Holds Off Hyundai to Keep No. 3 U.S. Sales Spot in Third Quarter Despite 6.6% Decline
Ford Motor Co. preserved its No. 3 position in U.S. light-duty vehicle sales in the third quarter, edging out Hyundai even as its sales fell 6.6% year over year to 507,395 units. The result underscores how a softer market and shifting consumer demand are reshaping the competitive order among major automakers, with volume leadership now hinging on execution as much as product mix.
