A new study by Carfax shows consumer interest in SUVs remains strong despite the seeming popularity of hybrids and other high fuel efficiency cars.

There’s been a dramatic increase in consumer activity at carfax.com over the past year for SUVs and crossover vehicles, some by as much as 3000 percent. Evidence shows that consumers are more interested in these cars if there is a clear history and the vehicle is priced right.

“People are definitely looking at SUVs again. They’re safe, practical cars and smart shoppers are searching for great deals,” said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. “The time is right for dealers to showcase their SUV inventory and make them stand out from the competition.
