Top 25 Best-Selling SUVs In America – 2015 Year End

Only two of the 25 best-selling SUVs/crossovers in America in 2015 sold less often during the 2015 calendar year than in 2014. One, the Lexus RX, was entering a replacement phase in the second half of the year. The other, Chevrolet’s Tahoe, performed at such a high level in its launch year of 2014 that the pace couldn’t be matched.

Every other top seller, from the category-leading Honda CR-V (+3.2%) to the 25th-ranked Nissan Pathfinder (+3.7%), posted improved sales. And most improved more noticeably than the CR-V and Pathfinder.

The Nissan Rogue’s 44% year-over-year increase drove the CR-V fighting Nissan up into fourth place from sixth a year ago. Rogue volume improved by 87,991 units.

The Toyota RAV4’s 18% uptick equalled nearly 48,000 extra sales, year-over-year.

Yet none of the fast movers could catch the top-ranked Honda CR-V, America’s top-selling SUV for a fourth consecutive year in 2015.

The CR-V came within 9910 sales of catching the Accord as American Honda’s best-selling model. The second-ranked RAV4, though catching up in the final one-sixth of the year, trailed the CR-V by 30,000 units by year’s end.
