#1 Toyota Corolla - over 587,491 sold

Toyota Corolla is once again on top of the list this year. Corolla, claimed to be the best-selling car in history, has sold over 40 million units since it first entered the market. The Corolla continues to be a great hit among car shoppers for being penny-pinching in terms of fuel efficiency and purchase price. The Corolla comes with a price tag starting from $ 16,900 (Dh62,076).

#2 Ford Focus - over 531,557 sold

Ford Focus is known for its great driving experience and also packed with premium features, securing its position at number two  best-selling car this year.

#3 Volkswagen Golf - over 524,127 sold

VW’s Golf remains high on the list of best hatchback picks for its efficiency, beautifully refined interiors and high-tech engines all wrapped with a high quality feel. The Golf is said to be fun and comfortable to drive with its snappy handling and brilliant suspensions. The Golf grabbed the spotlight since it was first introduced in the mid-70's equipped with water-cooled engines, which were groundbreaking at the time.

#4 Ford F-Series - over 513,127 sold

Ford continues to prove that it is a force to be reckoned with, despite having a 3 per cent sales slide earlier in September, but still landing in the top of this year’s most sold cars. The Ford F-Series trucks are said to be favourites among truck lovers. They are known for their sturdiness and efficiency; absolute powerhouses in the shape of a truck. Ford is also planning to up the ante for their 2015 models, which will be using military-grade aluminum and have improved rear suspensions, guaranteeing you a truck that will be worth the wait.

#5 Hyundai Elantra - over 406,995 sold

The Elantra has made it on this list for a good reason. Introduced 24 years ago, the Elantra is one of the best cars that Hyundai has ever built. With its sleek design with hard plastics and soft-touch surfaces, spacious interior, user-friendly tech features and a sensible price tag, it is definitely a big hit with car shoppers. The Elantra, that comes as a sedan and a hatchback, secures a top position amongst the ultra-competitive sedan segment.
