First the fam?ily station-wagon, and now the carry-all SUV seems to be in jeop?ardy, accord?ing to Alec Gutier?rez, senior ana?lyst with Kel?ley Blue Book.

Get the lat?est analy?sis on what con?sumers really want.

The exo?dus away from SUVs has been under?way for the past five years and will likely con?tinue for the fore?see?able future.? Since 2007, mid-size SUV sales have dropped by 70 per?cent, while com?pact crossover sales have sky?rock?eted by 50 per?cent.? Through the same time period, the num?ber of mid-size sport util?ity vehi?cles offered up by man?u?fac?tur?ers for sale has declined from 19 name?plates in 2007 to a pal?try seven?today.

Not only has con?sumer pref?er?ence for SUVs waned, the pri?or?i?ties of man?u?fac?tur?ers have shifted to pro?duc?ing vehi?cles with bet?ter fuel econ?omy to meet increas?ing CAFE standards.
