The midsized SUV segment remains stable, growing just 1% in 2013, which still compares favorably to an overall-market decline of 2%. No surprises for the top two spots, as the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan remain firmly in place. The Qashqai is due to be replaced this year, and will undoubtedly hold on to the top spot again, possibly topping 200,000 annual sales for the fifth consecutive year.
Behind the Tiguan, the Kia Sportage has leapfrogged its cousin Hyundai ix35, but the biggest increase comes from the Mazda CX-5, almost doubling its 2012 sales and moving from #11 to 7th place.
