Cars.com Reports SUV and Crossover Models are Still In Demand

Cars.com’s bet is in favor of a good year of sales for SUV and Crossover car models over the next year. Many automobile industry leaders were assuming the opposite in practical application of higher gas prices and the reputation of SUV style vehicles to be gas guzzlers. Fortunately for SUV and Crossover sellers, the popular design isn’t going sour due to the cost of gas.

Automakers can thank innovation and the pressure for releasing vehicles with better fuel efficiency for saving their precious SUVs. The public is aware that auto manufacturers are being scrutinized for energy efficiency and SUVs are going in the right direction.

"Manufacturers are doing a good job of making SUVs and crossover vehicles more fuel-efficient, which will be more attractive to consumers," said Patrick Olsen, managing editor of Cars.com.

As long as SUVs are performing more highly on energy consumption tests, their overall design appeal will win over customers ready to drop thousands on a new means of transportation. The SUV is what consumers want to be driving around, and as long as the public is keen on looking good in their vehicle, SUVs and Crossovers will stand a chance.
