But while Explorer volume falters slightly, many of its key challengers are on the upswing. Toyota Highlander sales are up 26% this year, a gain of 2007 units through the first nine months of 2016. Dodge Durango sales nearly tripled to 395 units in September and have risen 71% so far this year. The Hyundai Santa Fe XL reported a 16% uptick in September, the seventh consecutive month of improvement for Hyundai’s biggest utility vehicle. Year-to-date sales of the Mazda CX-9, newly launched for 2016, have essentially doubled.

Back at Ford, the Explorer is part of a utility vehicle lineup that’s seen sales rise 3% in September 2016. While SUV/crossover volume in the industry at large has grown 11% this year, Ford SUV/CUV sales are growing much more slowly.
And yet no automaker, Jeep included, has sold more SUVs/crossovers than Ford so far this year.

GCBC isn’t here to break down segments, an impossible task for any group, but to display sales data for the sake of comparison. The more ways sales data can be displayed, the better. This explains why you’ll see the Wrangler and Xterra listed with small SUVs, too, and the Subaru Outback shown with mainstream cars… because readers have wanted it both ways. You can always find the sales results for EVERY vehicle and form your own competitive sets by using the All Vehicle Rankings posts.
