[Autos] Car Shoppers Used Our Buyer's Guide to Research These 10 Vehicles the Most in 2022

[BirSaNN]

Our Buyer’s Guide team has made Car and Driver a shopping destination. That’s why we exhaustively cover every single car, truck, SUV, and van on the market—and pay attention to which ones you look at the most.

While not as many new cars found homes in 2022 as in previous years thanks to production slowdowns, supply-chain issues, and the damn economy, our Buyer's Guide pages still provided a place for millions of you to research and decide on your next vehicle. And there's a distinct trend: You are really interested in electrics! Among the top 10 most researched vehicles in our buyer's guide are four EVs and one that's offered as a hybrid. It appears your taste in body styles hasn't changed much, though, as all but three are trucks or SUVs. But there's hope in the end: Two of the cars were specially designed to satisfy enthusiast drivers, and we count ourselves among that number. So we guess that means there's something here for everyone. Here are the 10 most shopped-for vehicles on Car and Driver's Buyer's Guide for 2022:

Kicking off our list in 10th place is one of our favorite off-roaders, the Ford Bronco. When Ford launched the new Bronco in 2021 it did so to an overwhelming number of orders, many of which were difficult to fulfill when the company ran into supply-chain issues that delayed the SUV's launch. That hasn't tempered your appetite for the Bronco, though, and Ford has been happily rolling out new trims and special editions ever since, including the Everglades model pictured here, complete with snorkel and winch.

A regular on our 10Best list since its introduction in 2018, the Kia Telluride received a handsome—albeit mild—facelift for 2023. First displayed at the New York auto show in April, the restyled Telluride earned even more attention, coming in at number nine on our top-10 list. The Telluride is one of our favorite SUVs because of how well rounded and refined it is. It's practical, comfortable, luxurious, and packed with value. Try one and we think you'll agree.

You want EV driving range? The Lucid Air has your EV driving range. When we tested the Grand Touring model, we reported a segment-beating 410 miles of highway driving before needing to stop to recharge. That makes it the longest-range EV we've ever tested. The car is impressive for a number of other reasons too. With its face-melting launch control feature enabled, that same Grand Touring model hit 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, and it's not even the most powerful model Lucid builds. The Air clearly got your attention too, as it came in at number eight on our top-10 list.
