  "textContent": "Slowest-selling cars in America, December 2025\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Tesla\n\n\n\nThis slideshow summarizes the 10 slowest-selling new vehicles in the United States for December 2025, based on market days’ supply. Market days supply represents how long it would take dealers to sell all current inventory at the model’s present daily sales rate. Higher figures indicate slower turnover and greater inventory aging.\n\n\n\nThese results highlight a cross-section of models across mainstream and luxury segments. The list features electric vehicles, full-size SUVs, premium sedans, and performance-oriented models, illustrating that slow movement is not limited to a single category. The data reflects both shifting consumer preferences and changing segment dynamics.\n\n\n\nThe selections here are presented in descending order of days’ supply. Each slide focuses on one model’s inventory position and the broader context surrounding its sales pace. The information is summarized using a dry, factual tone consistent with industry reporting standards.\n\n\n\nVolkswagen ID.4 takes the longest to sell\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Volkswagen\n\n\n\nThe Volkswagen ID.4 posts a market days supply of 471 days, the highest among the vehicles listed. This figure indicates that, at current sales rates, dealers would require well over a year to clear existing ID.4 inventory. Such a level of supply suggests a significant imbalance between production volume and retail demand.\n\n\n\nA market-day supply this elevated typically reflects either slowing interest in the model or excess inventory allocation. In the ID.4’s case, both factors may be contributing. Consumer attention in the EV segment continues to shift, and inventory levels have increased in parallel.\n\n\n\nThe result is a prolonged turnover rate that places the ID.4 at the top of America’s slowest-selling list for December 2025. This reinforces ongoing trends showing pressure on mainstream electric crossovers in a competitive marketplace.\n\n\n\nDodge Charger shows extended inventory aging\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Dodge\n\n\n\nThe Dodge Charger has a market days supply of 446 days. This figure illustrates that on-lot units are turning far slower than industry norms. Even as the Charger transitions out of its long-running platform, inventory continues to accumulate.\n\n\n\nDealers may be carrying stock that exceeds current market demand. The model’s age and its pending shift to new technology likely contribute to lower consumer urgency. As a result, the Charger’s sales cadence has slowed considerably.\n\n\n\nWith nearly 15 months of supply, the Charger is one of the most sluggish performers in the current market environment. This reflects broad changes in consumer preference across the full-size sedan segment.\n\n\n\nSubaru Solterra inventory remains high\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Subaru\n\n\n\nThe Subaru Solterra records a market days supply of 411 days. This level indicates slow movement relative to overall EV inventory trends. Despite shared development with Toyota, the model has not achieved strong retail traction.\n\n\n\nDealers appear to be holding significantly more Solterra inventory than sales rates can support. This contributes to aging stock and greater pressure to adjust pricing or incentives. Market dynamics in the electric crossover category have intensified competition.\n\n\n\nThe Solterra’s inventory duration places it among the slowest-selling vehicles nationwide. This highlights the ongoing challenges associated with establishing new EV nameplates.\n\n\n\nJeep Grand Wagoneer supply reaches 400 days\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Jeep\n\n\n\nThe Jeep Grand Wagoneer shows a market days supply of 400 days. This reflects substantial inventory accumulation within the full-size luxury SUV segment. High transaction prices and elevated interest rates may be influencing demand.\n\n\n\nThe Grand Wagoneer’s slower turnover aligns with broader cooling in large luxury SUV sales. Dealer lots continue to carry stock that outpaces retail movement. This dynamic increases holding time and reduces inventory efficiency.\n\n\n\nWith supply extending to more than a full year, the Grand Wagoneer ranks near the top of slowest-selling models for December 2025. It underscores a challenging sales environment for premium utility vehicles.\n\n\n\nNissan Leaf experiences reduced sales velocity\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Nissan\n\n\n\nThe Nissan Leaf posts a market days supply of 346 days. This suggests an extended period is required to clear inventory under current demand conditions. As the EV segment evolves, interest in legacy electric models has moderated.\n\n\n\nDealers continue to receive Leaf inventory even as retail volume declines. This mismatch contributes to longer on-lot duration and slower replacement cycles. Competitive pressure from newer EV offerings is also a factor.\n\n\n\nWith nearly a year of supply, the Leaf’s turnover rate illustrates a notable shift in market position. The model remains available but moves at a considerably slower pace than earlier in its product lifecycle.\n\n\n\nAlfa Romeo Stelvio shows elevated aging\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Alfa Romeo\n\n\n\nThe Alfa Romeo Stelvio has a market days supply of 314 days. This figure reflects slower movement within the premium compact SUV category. Despite niche appeal, overall demand remains limited relative to available inventory.\n\n\n\nDealers holding Stelvio stock face prolonged aging periods. The model’s lower volume and brand awareness contribute to extended turnover times. High days supply figures can lead to additional incentives or pricing adjustments.\n\n\n\nAt more than 10 months of inventory, the Stelvio ranks among the slowest-selling vehicles in the current analysis. This highlights persistent demand challenges for Alfa Romeo’s utility lineup.\n\n\n\nMaserati Grecale continues to accumulate inventory\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Maserati\n\n\n\nThe Maserati Grecale shows a market days supply of 299 days. This indicates that supply substantially exceeds retail demand. Luxury compact crossovers remain competitive, and Grecale volume has outpaced consumer absorption.\n\n\n\nDealers may be carrying units that turn more slowly due to segment saturation and pricing considerations. With nearly 10 months of supply, the Grecale’s movement rate lags most competitors. This trend has been consistent across multiple reporting cycles.\n\n\n\nPlaced within the slowest-selling list, the Grecale reflects broader challenges among luxury brands attempting to scale newer product lines. Days supply figures illustrate the gap between projected and actual demand.\n\n\n\nAudi A6 maintains a high market days supply\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Audi\n\n\n\nThe Audi A6 records a market days supply of 276 days. This duration points to continued softness in the midsize luxury sedan category. Inventory has built steadily as consumers shift toward SUV body styles.\n\n\n\nDealers frequently carry more A6 units than sales activity warrants. Slower sedan adoption results in extended turn rates and higher aging. Incentive activity in this segment has increased accordingly.\n\n\n\nWith more than nine months of supply, the A6 ranks as one of the slowest-selling luxury sedans for December 2025. This reinforces long-term trends affecting premium passenger cars.\n\n\n\nJaguar F-Pace sees reduced turnover\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Jonathan Weiss / Shutterstock.com\n\n\n\nThe Jaguar F-Pace posts a market days supply of 267 days. This figure highlights slow movement within Jaguar’s SUV portfolio. While the model has received updates, retail demand remains modest.\n\n\n\nDealer inventories have been elevated relative to actual sales rates. This discrepancy contributes to extended aging and reduced turnover. Market competition across luxury SUVs remains intense.\n\n\n\nNearly nine months of supply places the F-Pace among the slowest-selling vehicles nationally. This result is consistent with broader pressures on Jaguar’s U.S. product cadence.\n\n\n\nAlfa Romeo Giulia rounds out the list\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Alfa Romeo\n\n\n\nThe Alfa Romeo Giulia shows a market days supply of 254 days. This marks it as the tenth slowest-selling model for December 2025. The premium sedan segment continues to contract, contributing to extended inventory cycles.\n\n\n\nDealers maintain more Giulia units than current demand supports. Slower sedan sales broadly impact brands with smaller market presence. As a result, turnover rates remain lower than anticipated.\n\n\n\nWith more than eight months of supply, the Giulia completes the group of slowest-selling cars in the U.S. market as measured by days supply. The data underscores sustained shifts in consumer preference away from traditional sedans.\n\n\n\nInventory trends reflect broader market shifts\n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Octavio Hoyos / Shutterstock.com\n\n\n\nThe data for December 2025 shows that several models are experiencing extended inventory aging across a wide range of segments. High market days supply figures suggest persistent gaps between production and retail demand. These conditions may lead to increased incentives or revised allocation strategies as manufacturers respond to slower movement.\n\n\n\nElectric vehicles and luxury models appear prominently in this group, indicating that pricing, interest rates, and segment competition continue to influence purchase patterns. Traditional sedans also remain challenged as consumer interest shifts toward crossovers and SUVs. The trends identified here reinforce longer-term transitions within the new-vehicle marketplace.\n\n\n\nMarket days supply remains a key metric for evaluating retail performance and inventory planning. Monitoring these results over time helps illustrate how quickly conditions can change across different vehicle categories. This list provides a snapshot of models facing the slowest turnover at the end of 2025. (Data from CarEdge)",
