Lada Riva: Over 19 Million
This is the most interesting item on this list since it is one of the cars you wouldn’t normally associate with extreme sales numbers. But in fact, the Lada Riva or VAZ 2101 is one of the best-selling cars in the world. They introduced it in 1980, basing it on an old Lada 1500, which was a copy of an old Fiat 124 Sedan. And this model is still in production today.
Over the decades the car hasn’t changed, still retaining its recognizable boxy shape. Lada managed to sell it worldwide, but most of their production ended up on the domestic Russian market.
