These Are The SUVs People Don't Seem To Want
It’s tempting to think that any vehicle an automaker classifies as an SUV is going to sell like hot cakes. In reality, there are more than a few duds out there that people aren’t researching much at all.
Just because people aren’t researching a specific model online doesn’t mean it’s a bad product. There are plenty of reasons why the 10 SUVs below don’t generate many clicks from people using the internet to research their next vehicle.
For starters, half of the utility vehicles on the list below carry stickers that easily exceed $100,000. Others have reached or are nearing the end of their time on the market.
10 SUVs No One Is Researching Online |
|---|
189. Audi SQ8 e-tron |
190. Bentley Bentayga (tie) |
190. Cadillac Escalade-V (tie) |
190. Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid (tie) |
190. Volvo XC90 Recharge (tie) |
191. Volvo XC60 Recharge |
192. Audi Q6 Sportback e-tron |
193. Aston Martin DBX (tie) |
193. Audi Q5 (tie) |
193. Audi RS Q8 Performance (tie) |
Four models from Audi are at the bottom of the list, along with a pair of Volvos. The Bentley Bentayga and Aston Martin DBX are impressive vehicles that very few people can afford, and it’s a similar story with the extremely powerful Cadillac Escalade-V.
If there’s a head scratcher on the list, it must be the Ford Escape PHEV. Considering its reasonable price, strong efficiency figures, and the fact that it competes in the popular compact crossover segment, conventional wisdom would suggest it’d be more popular online. Then again, the entire Escape lineup is being phased out by Ford, so in this case, we guess conventional wisdom simply doesn’t apply.
