In a revealing look at the automotive preferences of Arizonans, both new and used vehicle data paint a picture of a market that is conscious of value, practicality, and a dose of luxury. Cheap Insurance and Stacker Studio have released information that puts the Ford F-Series and Chevrolet Silverado atop the rankings as the best-selling new cars in Arizona, as reported by AZFamily. The Ford F-Series, known for its power and reliability, leads with prices ranging from $43,515 to $77,980 and a combined fuel economy of 20 miles per gallon.
Contrasting trends in vehicle purchases show that while the new car shoppers are gravitating towards larger trucks, those in the market for used cars in Phoenix lean towards models such as the Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, due to their versatile capabilities in the city's varied terrain, and used 2022 Ford F-150s carry an average price tag of $48,886, reflecting the steadfast appeal of the truck sector in the region, according to analysis from CoPilot.
Used car sales also highlight the prominence of Japanese automakers such as Toyota and Honda, with the Toyota Camry and Honda CR-V featuring prominently among Phoenix's most popular vehicles, showcasing a market that respects both American ruggedness and Japanese innovation. In the current climate, where buyers are showing a heightened interest in hybrid and electric models, the ranking reveals the inclusion of the fuel-efficient Toyota Prius. This trend, coupled with the continued popularity of full-sized pickups in both new and used markets, indicates a diverse set of automotive preferences.
The data, enhanced by an emerging presence of luxury but practical models like the Lexus RX and BMW X5 in the used car segment, also reveals a local appetite for upscale vehicles that don't skimp on functionality. It's clear that Arizona's car buyers are broadening their horizons while still keeping an eye on their wallets and the environmental impact of their choices. Amidst these figures, electric vehicles are gaining ground, with the Tesla Model Y achieving best-selling status in several states, though specific registration numbers for Arizona are yet to be disclosed.
