NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, May 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Big Wheels Auto Finance Data, the platform for analyzing U.S. auto lending trends and performance, today released its 2025 rankings for outstandings and originations as part of a sweeping upgrade that includes five new interactive dashboards.

The update to Big Wheels delivers deeper visibility into lender performance, credit trends, and competitive positioning across a market that now totals $1.78 trillion in auto loan and lease outstandings.

Toyota Financial Services retained its position as the top-ranked lender at yearend 2024, with total outstandings reaching $118.3 billion. GM Financial, Ally, Chase Auto, and Capital One round out the top five, all maintaining their prior-year rankings.

Credit unions remained prominent in the auto finance industry, representing 54 of the Top 100 lenders. New entrants to the ranking this year included Kinecta Federal Credit Union, Rogue Credit Union, Visions Federal Credit Union, and EECU.

Meanwhile, auto leasing continued its long-term decline, accounting for just 16.3% of total outstandings. In contrast, captive lenders saw strong growth, expanding their portfolios by an average of 6.1%, led by significant gains from Stellantis Financial Services, Hyundai Capital America, and Nissan Motor Acceptance Corp.

The new release of Big Wheels features enhanced data on credit unions, more in-depth credit performance data, and features new comparison tools, positioning it as a must-have dataset for anyone in the industry looking to track trends and benchmark performance.
