CHICAGO –

Cars.com released some interesting data Friday revealing the most-searched-for new vehicles on its website. Unsurprisingly, the overwhelming champion, on a state-by-state basis for the third quarter of 2014, is the Ford F-150. The truck was the most-searched vehicle in 30 of the 50 United States.

Around the coastlines and major metropolitan areas, another Ford stands out — the states of New York, Florida and California were just a few of the 10 states where the Mustang led the races, along with being the most-searched vehicles in several of those states major cities, including Seattle, Miami, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, among others.

According to Cars.com, approximately 11 percent of the nation’s population is in the market to purchase a vehicle at any time.

“Just like every car shopper is different, every city and state has its own unique new-car market,” said Kelsey Mays, Cars.com’s consumer affairs editor. “A resurgent economy and lower fuel prices have propelled light truck sales across the board, hence the popularity of the F-150. But in warmer, less industrial and cosmopolitan areas, shoppers still naturally gravitate toward vehicles that best fit their day-to-day lives.”

The next most-searched vehicle was the Jeep Grand Cherokee, finding its popularity in the colder climates of Illinois, Michigan and the New England neighbors of Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The Grand Cherokee was also the most-searched vehicle in New York City.

The remaining five states were represented by four vehicles, with the Honda Accord in Maryland, the Chevrolet Silverado in Arkansas, the Toyota Camry in Virginia, and the Toyota Tacoma in Vermont and, perhaps surprisingly, Hawaii. The Camry also reigned supreme in our nation’s capital.
