Toyota is the most common make in New York City at 338,369 active registrations, 15.9% of the city. Honda is second at 289,930, and the top two makes together account for 29.6% of every vehicle registered in the five boroughs.

No. The Honda CR-V is the most registered model in 3 of the five boroughs, and the Toyota RAV4 leads in Queens, and the Nissan Rogue leads in Staten Island. Manhattan is where the lists diverge furthest down: the Land Rover Range Rover is its seventh most registered model and only 38th citywide.

The 2023 Tesla Model Y is the most common single year, make and model in New York City, with 7,566 active registrations. That is a different question from the model ranking above, which counts every model year of a car together.

A registration is a record in a state database, not a car on the road. The borough is where the registrant receives mail rather than where the car is driven, fleet vehicles are often registered at one company address, and a model name was identified for 2,102,828 of the 2,124,852 active registrations, leaving 22,024 counted at the make level only.
