Most Popular SUVs Right Now
August 25, 2016
SUVs are the quickest growing segment right now, as car shoppers are shunning away from cars in droves.
This week, I wanted to take a look at the most popular models right now to give you an idea of where car shoppers are flocking to.
The Toyota RAV4 is America's best-selling SUV so far, with nearly 198,000 units sold this year, follwed closely by the Honda CR-V and Nissan Rogue.
As always, if you're shopping for a new car right now, I recommend you use TrueCar No Haggle and CarsDirect to quickly see the best deals being offered in your area.
