Ford holds No. 3 U.S. sales spot as Hyundai misses forecasted overtaking

Ford Motor retained its third-place position in U.S. light-vehicle sales for the third quarter, narrowly edging out Hyundai Motor Group. Ford reported a 6.6% year-over-year decline to 507,395 units, while Hyundai, including Kia and Genesis, rose 5.4% to 506,200 units. This outcome defied recent forecasts that predicted Hyundai would surpass Ford for the first time. Ford maintains an 89,700-unit lead over Hyundai for the year through September, despite struggles with electric vehicle sales and discontinued models like the Escape.

Ford CEO Warns U.S. Must Act Before Chinese Auto Flood Mirrors Europe

He noted Chinese brands' European market share rose from near zero in 2020 to 12% in August 2026. Farley emphasized Ford's strategy of partnering with Chinese firms for technology while competing in other areas, despite recent concerns from the Trump administration regarding these ties.

Hyundai poised to surpass Ford in Q3 sales as Detroit automakers lag in hybrid segment

Cox Automotive forecasts that Hyundai will outsell Ford in the U.S. for the first time in the third quarter, with Hyundai sales rising 6.5% to 511,421 units and Ford falling 7.1% to 504,172 units. This shift is attributed to Detroit automakers' limited hybrid offerings amid high gas prices, while Toyota narrows its gap with GM. Ford disputed the forecast, citing Korean manufacturing advantages, but acknowledged a product lull.

Trump Opens U.S. Door to Chinese Carmakers Amid Ford-China Ties Irony

President Trump said he would be “okay” with Chinese automakers building plants in the United States if they hire American workers, signaling a reversal from earlier hardlines. The move comes as U.S. automakers like Ford, GM, and Stellantis lobby through the Alliance for Automotive Innovation to limit Chinese brands, even as Ford itself maintains notable Chinese partnerships (including with CATL). The situation highlights a tension between calls to protect domestic manufacturing and the global supply chains tying American automakers to Chinese partners.

Ford Hit with Bipartisan Pushback Over Chinese Ties and Battery Plans

Ford is facing bipartisan pressure from the Trump administration and GOP lawmakers over its ties to Chinese firms, including a CATL-licensed battery technology at its Michigan plant, a planned 66% Ford / 34% Geely joint venture in Valencia, Spain, and talks with BYD on batteries for hybrids. Ford stresses the CATL deal is licensing/servicing, not a manufacturing joint venture, and says it would still own and control the U.S. plant, but critics warn of dependence on Chinese tech and IP and have urged greater transparency as investigations seek details on termination rights, tech support, and potential China-based manufacturing.
