SUVs dominate our bestseller lists routinely thanks to their higher riding position and safety, and consumers are increasingly thinking that they are worth the publication. In 2024, the Toyota RAV4 even threatened to increase the Ford F-1550 sales record. So it is probably no surprise that, per ISECARSThis favorite segment laid down on 48 of the 50 US states.
SUVs are especially popular in New York, where they enjoy no less than 55.4% of the vehicle share. This is closely followed by Michigan, with 54% of the vehicles SUVs. There also seems to be an SUV rifle in Massachusetts (52.1%), Rhode Island (52.0%), New Jersey (51.1%), Minnesota (50.9%), Pennsylvania and Colorado (both 50.5%) and Maine (50%). On the other hand, Arizona and New Mexico are the SUV-dominant states with the least share of high-riders, albeit with a still impressive 40.1% each.
Pick -up trucks are not the most popular vehicle type in every American state. They reach their highest share in Wyoming, where they have conquered 37.1% of the market, while New Jersey has the smallest part of the trucks, a meager 7.9%. What the question raises, which vehicle types are favored in the two states where SUVs are the most popular?
Cars are the dominant vehicle type in California
Cars have long taken a backseat to SUV’s National, but drivers in the Golden State still like a lot to find in it, apparently. From the ISEECars research, based on the sale of used cars between April 2022 and March 2023, cars show that cars are good for 46.4% of California vehicles. That is 7.7% higher than SUVs, which have the second best share at 38.7%. Thar leaves trucks a distant third, with 11.3% of the market share of California, while minibuses do with 2.6%.
The findings suggest positives for Toyota and Honda, such as the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry are among the bestsellers in California, per Mycarpark.com. Despite the fact that Tesla falls less than 50% of the sale of California, it is likely to think that Tesla is another important beneficiary of cars and SUVs that dominate the Roads of California, given his model 3 and model Y belong to the five most popular vehicles in California, according to Edmunds.
About 41.6% of the vehicles in Hawaii are cars
Drivers in the Multi island are known for their enormous affinity for trucks such as the Toyota Tacoma. Yet cars are the most popular class of the vehicle in Hawaii, with a share of 41.6% versus 38.5% for SUVs at the top. Even with the tacoma and tundra that were some of the most much sought after models in Hawaii, trucks went worse, and only claimed 13.7% of the car market, while minivans were good for 5.3% of the vehicles in the Alaha state.
Now you probably wonder what the most popular cars are in Hawaii.

According to AmerifreightHawaiians are also preferred by Model 3, Honda Civic and Toyota Prius.

Why do the US have so many SUVs?
More than 80% of all new car sales in the US are trucks and SUVs, with the high-riders including more than 57% of that share. This is from a JD Power Study in October 2021, but it is proof of how far they have come. Returning back to 2010 and the SUV section was only 32.75%, with cars that led the peloton with 47.26%, while trucks achieved third place with 20%. The years were friendly to SUVs, because of their size and usefulness.
SUVs are usually larger than cars and more spacious inside, making them more attractive to families. They also have more load space. Take the 2025 Toyota RAV4, which offers no less than 37.5 cubic foot with all seats in use and 69.8 cubic foot with the seats down the second row. That is much more space than you will find in a Toyota Camry, for example with 15.1 cubic foot trunk space.
Another factor that stimulates the attraction of SUVs is that they leave residents higher than cars, which offers an impressive picture of the road. There are also their all-round performance, because SUVs can be almost as comfortable off-road when applying as on the asphalt; This ability to go from flexible city scruisers to bona fide mud hose machines makes them especially popular with adventurous seekers. Finally, the fact that SUVs are usually cheaper to insure than other vehicles also with their allure.
