Autotrader Names Hottest New, Used Cars of Summer 2023

Trucks Dominate Lists of This Summer’s Most-Researched Vehicles on Autotrader

ATLANTA, Aug. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Summer 2023 is on pace to be the hottest ever on record, and the car market also continues to heat up as inventory levels rise and some incentives return. While the past few years have been tough for car buyers, signs now point toward smoother sailing. As this searing season persists, Autotrader, a Cox Automotive company, recently named the Hottest New and Used Cars of Summer 2023.

The list reveals what shoppers are considering and points out the hot cars that are in high demand.

“We determine the Hottest Cars of Summer 2023 by sifting through Autotrader’s search data to calculate which new and used cars get the most traffic,” said Brian Moody, executive editor for Autotrader. “The list reveals what shoppers are considering and points out the hot cars that are in high demand. This is helpful information for car shoppers to know before securing a deal. This year we also added a bonus list of the Hottest Used Cars of Summer 2023, in addition to the list of Hottest New Cars. Because of the wacky way the automotive business has been running in recent years, used cars can be almost as challenging to find and buy as new cars.”

Both the Hottest New and Used lists are dominated by pickup trucks of various sizes, with the Hottest New list featuring eight trucks and the Hottest Used list featuring seven trucks. The Hottest New list also includes two SUVs, while the Hottest Used list includes one SUV and two sports cars.

Below are the most-researched new and used cars on Autotrader, presented in order of the number of searches:
