In this latest addition to the ever-growing list of content made available by GCBC, we’re allowing you to ask us to sort the sales data the way you want it. In fact, you can ask anything, and we might just choose to answer your question even if you ask, “Does the Toyota Camry sell as frequently as the Lexus ES?” If you want to ask a question, email [email protected].
This week, Jochen From New Jersey wanted to know the following: “Which luxury car brand sells the most SUVs?” We’ll look exclusively at the United States and rank brands by their total SUV/crossover volume.
Easy enough. Across all 11 brands, sales jumped 20% last year to just under 1 million units: 996,986, equal to 16% of the overall SUV/crossover market.
Here are all premium brand sellers of utility vehicles in America ranked by calendar year 2015 sales.
