The US auto market kept its momentum in 2017, thanks to strong SUV and pickup truck sales.

There were about 17.2 million cars and trucks sold last year, according to Kelly Blue Book. While that's slightly down from the 17.6 million vehicles sold in 2016, it still qualifies as a solid market. And just like in previous years, Americans continued to opt for larger vehicles over smaller passenger cars.

In fact, two of the most popular segments included compact and mid-size crossover SUVs, which combined accounted for about 40% of all car sales in 2017. Pickup trucks were also in demand, with full-size trucks making up about 15% of all vehicles sold.
