The car market in 2026 is busier than ever, which is a good thing if you are a customer looking to get a new car. But have you wondered how many car brands there are in the US currently? You have a choice between old American brands that have been in the market for decades, as well as electric vehicle start-up companies offering the latest technology and innovation. For something outside the US, you also have a number of foreign car brands to choose between – from European manufacturers that represent the pinnacle of the automotive industry with models like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the exotic Ferrari 849 Testarossa, to Japanese manufacturers with the best reliability and efficiency, and even the Korean brands that have been on the rise in recent years.
