The 10 most popular new cars & SUVs of 2025 (so far), according to Consumer Reports
Hint: CR’s most popular new cars are not actually cars.
Looming economic uncertainties, stubbornly high interest rates, and Trump’s tariffs on imported auto parts and automobiles might lead you to think that 2025 is the worst time ever to buy a new car.
But 3.9 million new vehicles were sold in the first few months of the year, which represented a 4% increase over 2024. And while current economic headwinds have caused Cox Automotive to reduce its full-year new vehicle sales estimates from 16.3 million to 15.6 million, that still means millions of people are heading over to their dealerships to purchase a new car or SUV.
Because the simple fact is, if you need a new car, you need a new car.
