From compact vehicles that can navigate narrow city streets to electric vehicles that cut down on urban pollution, the June 2016 auto trends demonstrate the ongoing demand for commuter-friendly cars.
Instead of oversized trucks and SUVs, it appears as though consumers are content with smaller vehicles that are built for city-living. One example of such vehicles is the Smart ForTwo Cabriolet, which combines the style and sophistication of a convertible with the functionality of a Smart car. Another example is the Nissan Kicks, which is a small-size SUV that it likely to appeal to millennial car buyers.
In addition to size, the June 2016 auto trends also demonstrate a continued demand for cleaner vehicles. Whether it is cars that run entirely on electricity or hybrids that use a mixture of different fuels, it is clear that lower emissions a priority for buyers. Some examples of these kinds of eco-friendly autos include multi-fuel city cars, urban-only electric vehicles and turbine-powered trucks.
