Model S from Tesla (158,772 units sold)
In the first three months of 2022, the Tesla Model S is the most purchased vehicle in America. Obviously, if it weren’t for Tesla, there wouldn’t be so many EVs today. Nonetheless, the 2022 Tesla Model S remains a desirable option in this developing market. With a range of up to 412 miles, the Model S is a great option for cross-country trips. The Plaid model, with its 1020 horsepower, can outpace even the quickest supercars while still comfortably accommodating four passengers.
As fashionable as it is, the Tesla Model S also has a practical use. That’s because it has a massive rear trunk and a smaller, front trunk that opens up for even more storage. The Porsche Taycan and the Audi e-Tron GT are two newcomers to the premium electric car market. In terms of performance and comfort, both of these cars compete with the Tesla Model S; nonetheless, the Model S’s greater range and semi-autonomous driving technologies continue to drive buyers to this Tesla model.
New Tesla Model 3 (132,766 units sold)
Among the top 20 best-selling vehicles in the United States, two are Tesla Model 3 sedans. The Tesla Model Y crossover is the other choice; it is based on the same chassis as the Model 3. The 2022 Tesla Model 3 lives up to its billing as a reliable electric vehicle. It’s a great compromise between speed, range, and price. It’s speedy and agile, especially in the Performance edition. As a result, eco-friendly motorists may rally behind the Model 3. Moreover, the Model 3’s range of 358 miles per charge in the Long Range trim level means that daily charging is not required.
A Toyota RAV4 (101,192 units sold)
Toyota claims that the RAV4 was the “best-selling non-pickup car” during the first quarter. Nonetheless, Motor Intelligence reports that third-quarter sales of the Toyota RAV4 fell by 12.6%. However, Toyota’s RAV4 continues to be the best of its kind. This is likely due to the fact that sales of the Honda CR-V, which is its main competitor, have dropped even further. Popular competitors like the Chevrolet Equinox and Mazda CX-5 have made gains against the Toyota RAV4. The 2022 Toyota RAV4 is not the most exciting compact SUV to drive, but its practicality and fuel efficiency more than makeup for this.
There is a cheap but basic base model, and higher trim levels with several desirable extras that will appeal to the target market. The base model comes with a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and front-wheel drive. AWD is standard, but even the most rugged RAV4 falls short of the trail-ready 4Runner or Tacoma. Adaptive cruise control is only one of several driver-aid features included on the RAV4. Faux leather upholstery, heated seats, and a JBL sound system are just some of the high-end features available on more expensive models.
