Our Take On The SUV sales Numbers
Year-to-date the Nissan Rogue retains the lead in the SUV and crossover rankings, but July marked another difficult month for the Japanese SUV.
After sturdy growth through May and June, last month saw 18.16% fewer Rogues leave dealerships as in the same month a year previously.
The Rogue’s drops go against an overall growth rate for the vehicles to have reported July’s figures (which exclude GM as they now won’t report again until close of quarter 3) of 7.5% year-on-year.
What is fuelling this growth? A number of new models have joined the fray and are already selling in impressive numbers, for one. Ten models that were not available a year ago have hit the market, with seven out of those already selling four-figure monthly totals.
Many manufacturers are bolstering their SUV lineups to take advantage of high demand for them, as there are greater profits to be made on these vehicles. Honda, for instance, is on track to sell more SUVs and light trucks than passenger cars in 2018, while Volkswagen attests its SUV lineup as having boosted its fortunes to this point in the year.
