The Toyota captives—Toyota Financial Services and Southeast Toyota Finance's World Omni Financial Corp.— secured the top spot with a combined 11.92% of the market. General Motors captives, which includes GM Financial and GM’s leasing program with Wells Fargo, captured the No. 2 new-vehicle lender position, capturing 7% of the market.
American Honda Finance Corp. remained among the nation’s top three new-vehicle financiers in 2022 despite giving up a large piece of its market share, according to Experian data. Honda and Ford Motor Credit Co. shared the third position in 2022, each capturing 5.13% of new-vehicle loans and leases. But Honda’s share was down 3.61 percentage points from 2021, when it ranked second and Ford ranked sixth.
