Movers and Losers: June’s Top SUVs

Posted by Published in Car Buying

You’d think SUVs would have a rugged moment of it these days with the gas crunch, but there are a lot of fairly large vehicles selling fairly quickly. The luxury SUV market is somewhat healthy as well, as you can see below. The pedestrian utility category is dominated by the new Honda Pilot and other larger crossovers, like the Buick Enclave, Toyota Highlander, Dodge Journey and GMC Acadia. On the loser side, GM’s big SUVs took a solid beating. None come shut to that month’s average of 65 days to sell. Luxury SUVs are plus listed below.

The top two

luxury models are additionally relatively new, but Lexus has a lot to crow about with three quick sellers, including the aging GX. We’re not certain who’s snapping that up. There’s no real surprise on the loser side, with Hummer and Land Rover overwhelming the list.
