These trucks, SUVs, vans, EVs, and sports cars were the most-searched vehicles on our website among shoppers this year.
A favorite of ours since its debut for the 2020 model year, the Telluride is a three-row SUV with broad appeal. It's upscale, capable, comfortable, and remarkably affordable, and it's been a 10Best winner several years in a row. A new generation is likely on the horizon, given that Hyundai has already revealed a new version of the Telluride's Palisade platform-mate in Korea.

Mazda CX-50
A companion to the popular and well-established CX-5, the CX-50 is Mazda's newest compact-crossover offering, and it's a particularly good one. It won out in our most recent comparison test of the segment, and it also added a hybrid powertrain for 2025 that bumps up its fuel economy significantly.

Tesla Model 3
The Model 3 has been a constant topic of conversation since its debut, and this year brought renewed interest in this affordable EV sedan thanks to a comprehensive refresh. The significant improvements to the Model 3's design, refinement, and performance were enough for us to name it to our 10Best Cars list for 2025. The update also brought new life to the Performance version (pictured), which now packs 510 horsepower.

Toyota Tacoma
When you think of a Toyota truck, you probably think of a Tacoma. This mid-size pickup has a well-earned reputation for reliability and off-road ability, and a redesign for 2024 brought many new elements to the equation. The biggest addition is an available hybrid powertrain, and there are also new rugged trim levels such as the Trailhunter.

Honda Prelude
The resurrected Prelude isn't even a production car yet, and it's already generating a huge amount of interest. That's probably from a combination of those who remember the name fondly from the sports coupes of the 1990s and from those who are discovering the legend of the Prelude for the first time. No matter which camp you're in, you're in luck because Honda has confirmed that it's coming to the U.S. as a sporty hybrid coupe late next year.

Lexus GX

Volkswagen ID.Buzz
The VW Bus is back, and while it's recognizable on the outside, the electric underpinnings may surprise some of those familiar with the rear-engined Microbuses of the past. The retro ID.Buzz charmed its way onto our 10Best Trucks and SUVs list this year thanks to its stylish interior, impressive driving experience, and practical nature. Starting at just over $60,000, the ID.Buzz offers both rear-wheel-drive single-motor and all-wheel-drive dual-motor versions.

Toyota 4Runner
Totally redesigned Toyota 4Runners don't come around very often, so it makes sense that the new 2025 model garnered a lot of interest online. It's related to the latest Tacoma pickup, and the latest 4Runner mid-size SUV amps up its off-road offerings while also adding a hybrid powertrain. Pricing is out now, and it starts at $42,220 but goes up to over $68,000 for the loaded hybrid models.
1
Tesla Cybertruck
You've probably seen one on the road by now, but it's still hard to believe that the Cybertruck is real. Tesla's first pickup truck is a polarizing beast to say the least, but you can't argue with its performance: it reached 60 mph in 2.6 seconds in our testing, a remarkable result for something weighing nearly 7000 pounds. It starts at $82,235, but lower-priced models are supposedly coming next year.

Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
