During the second quarter, 66 percent of luxury vehicle shoppers considered choosing a luxury SUV, while 55 percent considered a luxury car. And 10 percent of luxury vehicle shoppers contemplated purchasing a Buick model — this is the same amount as in the first quarter. Buick’s popularity makes sense, given that it only offers high-end SUVs in its current lineup.
The Buick Enclave was the second most-shopped luxury SUV. Shopping consideration for the model went up by 11 percent from the first quarter, helping it jump up from the fourth spot. The Encore also saw an 18 percent increase in popularity.

Of the Top 10 Considered Models by Luxury Shoppers, seven were SUVs, and just three spots were occupied by cars. The Enclave landed in fifth place, while the Encore took the ninth spot. BMW had the most models on the list at four, Buick and Tesla had two models each, and Acura and Lexus had one model each.
Shoppers also ranked 12 vehicle factors from most to least important. The top three were durability/reliability, safety, and driving comfort. Affordability came in ninth, and shoppers found that Buick was the second-best brand as far as this factor is concerned, right behind Genesis.
