Which new vehicles are the hottest trending models now? A new report from Edmunds says among the top-10 trending models that grab your attention most now include three Subaru SUVs; the 2022 Subaru Outback midsize SUV, the 2022 Subaru Crosstrek subcompact, and the 2022 Subaru Forester compact in that order.
A recent Kelley Blue Book (KBB) report says the top researched models are now compact SUVs and cars because of the unprecedented rise in gas prices. Even though gas prices have fallen from highs this spring, car shoppers still want fuel-efficient vehicles, and small SUVs are a good choice because of their utility.
The top-10 trending models
Edmunds' ten most researched new vehicles in their ranking are the 2021 Honda CR-V, 2022 Toyota RAV4, 2022 Mazda CX-5, 2021 Honda Passport, 2022 Subaru Outback, 2021 Honda Pilot, 2022 Subaru Crosstrek, 2022 Subaru Forester, Mazda CX-30, and 2022 Honda Civic.
Compact and midsize SUVs are the most-researched segment among new car shoppers this fall. Those shopping for gas-powered vehicles are still thinking more about fuel economy.
The 2022 Subaru Outback and Crosstrek are likely sold out now, so we'll update the information with the 2023 Outback and 2023 Crosstrek model years.
