2023 Best Selling SUVs In the United States (All Models Ranked)
The SUV car segment in the US has been growing steadily over the last few years. In 2021, SUVs accounted for 46% of new vehicle sales in the US, up from 38% in 2016. There are a number of factors that have contributed to the growth of the SUV segment. One factor is the rising cost of fuel. As fuel prices have increased, consumers have become more interested in vehicles that get better gas mileage. SUVs tend to get lower gas mileage than passenger cars, but they are also more spacious and versatile. Another factor that has contributed to the growth of the SUV segment is the growing popularity of active lifestyles. Many consumers are now looking for vehicles that can accommodate their outdoor activities, such as camping, hiking, and biking. SUVs are better suited for these activities than passenger cars.
EVs are becoming increasingly popular in the US, and they are now available in a variety of body styles, including SUVs. Electric SUVs are more fuel-efficient than traditional gasoline-powered SUVs, and they also produce zero emissions. Automakers are investing heavily in autonomous driving technology, and they are expected to release self-driving SUVs in the coming years. SUVs are well-suited for autonomous driving, as they are typically larger and heavier than passenger cars. The luxury SUV market is growing in the US, and many automakers are now offering luxury SUVs. Luxury SUVs are typically more expensive than traditional SUVs, but they offer a higher level of comfort, performance, and features.
