RICHMOND, Va. (June 8, 2009) – CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX), the nation’s largest retailer of used cars, added the crossover vehicle type in mid-April as a specific searchable term on carmax.com.  Clicks to the new vehicle type have increased during its first month of availability.  Crossovers are vehicles that combine the utility and space of an SUV or minivan with the drive and handling ease of a sedan.  Crossovers often have a lower roof height than a typical SUV or minivan and generally achieve better gas mileage.

Familiar crossover vehicles include the Toyota RAV 4, the Chrysler Pacifica and the Honda Pilot.  One crossover, the Toyota Highlander, made it into the top 20 searched vehicles on carmax.com for May, landing at 15.  Currently there are more than 4,750 crossover vehicles listed on carmax.com.

“The ability to search by crossover vehicle type gives shoppers on carmax.com 12 vehicle types to choose from within the CarMax inventory when searching for their next car,” said Ann Yauger, director of carmax.com.  “The increase in searches for crossover vehicles on carmax.com indicates the growing popularity of the crossover category.”

The CarMax website can be used to research information on new and used cars, including crossovers of various makes and models.  The website showcases vehicles with multiple photos, the no-haggle price, and information on features, options, fuel economy and customer reviews.
