Toronto, Ontario — Canadian automotive marketplace AutoTrader unveiled a report last Thursday concerning car shopper preferences in 2022, indicating that luxury and mainstay vehicles remain the most popular vehicles, with interest in more economic options driving other contenders towards the Top 10.
Impressively, the Ford F-150 holds strong as Canada’s most sought-after vehicle for the eighth year in a row, while the BMW M was bumped off the list by the Jeep Wrangler SUV.
Additionally, the Honda Civic soared four spots to the second most searched vehicle while the Toyota Corolla and Camry rose several spots on the Top 20.
“This year has been exceptionally different to previous years —with higher costs of living, vehicle shortages, and economic pressures top of mind,” says Ian MacDonald, AutoTrader’s chief marketing officer.
“However, it is encouraging that Canadians’ vehicle purchase intentions remained consistent, as they looked for ways to make financially-savvy decisions, including a willingness to be flexible on vehicle selection, and spending more time researching and leveraging tools like the marketplace in their car shopping journey.”
