Learn English – Alternative single word for “in demand”

single-word-requestssynonyms

Is there any alternative single word for the phrase "in demand"?

Because I couldn't find the word demandable as an adjective in any dictionary. The word demanding means strenuous.

For example:

This car is demandable (incorrect, "demandable" doesnt exist)

This car is in demand (correct)

Also:

A demandable car (incorrect, "demandable" doesnt exist)

A car in demand (correct)
