Top 10 Best-Selling SUVs In America – November 2011

Let’s just call it. Let’s end the suspense. The fat lady is singing, and she’s singing because the Ford Escape will be the best-selling SUV in America in 2011. 

Sure, there’s one month remaining, but the Escape is now 31,932 sales ahead of the second-ranked Honda CR-V, sales of which dropped 10% in November 2011. The third-ranked Chevrolet Equinox (down 3% in November) is another 21,708 sales back. November’s surge came as Ford offered discounts on leftovers before the 2013 Ford Escape arrives. The ancient (yet current) first-gen Escape finished November nearly 5400 sales of the CR-V. 

Up a class or two, Jeep reported a 23% increase in Grand Cherokee sales. The most expensive Jeep trails the Ford Explorer by almost 11,000 sales going into December, a lead the Explorer is unlikely to give up. Explorer sales rose 217% in November. The only Chrysler product more popular than the Grand Cherokee in November was the Ram pickup.
